Morfologicky

Morfologicky is the adverb form of the Czech adjective morfologický, meaning morphologically or in terms of morphology. The term derives from morfologie, the study of the structure and formation of words, and is used to indicate that a statement concerns morphology rather than other linguistic aspects such as syntax or semantics.

In linguistics, morfologicky describes analyses and statements about the form of words. Morphology studies how words are built from morphemes—the smallest meaningful units—through inflection, derivation and compounding. A morfologická analysis identifies the root or stem, the affixes, and the grammatical forms they express, such as case, number, tense and mood. Different languages exhibit different morphological typologies, from fusional and agglutinative to isolating, which influences how information is encoded morphologically.

Examples illustrate how the term is used: in Czech, a word like dětství can be analyzed morphologically as related to the root dět- with the suffix -ství, indicating a state or period. The adverb morfologicky can also be used to compare languages or linguistic descriptions, signaling that the discussion centers on word structure and form rather than meaning alone.
