morfologikusan

Morfologikusan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a morphological manner” or “morphologically.” It is used in linguistic contexts to describe actions, analyses, or descriptions that pertain to morphology—the study of the structure of words, including affixation, stem changes, and morpheme segmentation. The term signals that the focus is on word formation and internal structure rather than on syntax or meaning alone.

The word is the adverbial form derived from the adjective morfologikus (morphological). In Hungarian, adverbs are often formed from adjectives by adding a suffix, producing morfologikusan to indicate the manner of a process related to morphology. This term is most commonly encountered in academic writing, linguistic analyses, and discussions of word-formation processes.

Usage and examples are typically found in the context of linguistic description, computer processing of language, and pedagogy related to morphology. For example, a sentence might state that a word was analyzed morfologikusan to identify its affixes, or that data were examined morfologikusan to classify morphemes. An illustrative Hungarian example is: A szót morfologikusan elemezték. Translation: The word was morphologically analyzed. Although primarily used in Hungarian-language texts, the concept it conveys—an analysis focused on word structure—is universal in linguistics.
