UNLOCKING ASSAMESE DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY: A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLORATION OF LEXICAL WORD CATEGORIES
Abstract
This research endeavors to unravel the intricate derivational morphology of lexical word categories within the Assamese language. Assamese, a language rich in linguistic diversity, exhibits a complex system of word formation through affixation, compounding, and derivational processes. This study employs a comprehensive approach, utilizing linguistic analysis and native speaker input, to scrutinize the derivational patterns that shape the language's lexical word categories. By shedding light on the underlying structure of Assamese morphology, this research contributes to the broader field of linguistics and aids in the preservation and documentation of this culturally significant language.
