morfololoogilisi

Morfololoogilisi is the partitive plural form of the Estonian adjective morfololoogiline, meaning "morphological" or "relating to morphology." In linguistic descriptions, it is used to refer to phenomena, features, or analyses that concern the internal structure of words, i.e., how morphemes combine to form word forms and meanings. The term appears in scholarly texts, grammars, and linguistic descriptions to discuss aspects of word formation, inflection, derivation, and compounding.

The word morfololoogiline itself is built from morfoloogia (morphology) and the suffix -oloogiline, which denotes a relationship to a field of study or systematic inquiry. As such, morfololoogilised describes things tied to morphology and its methods, data, or findings. In practical use, the form morfololoogilisi commonly appears with nouns in the partitive plural, for example morfololoogilisi omadusi (morphological features) or morfololoogilisi andmeid (morphological data).

In linguistic practice, morfololoogilised analyses focus on how words are formed and how their forms encode grammatical categories such as case, number, tense, or mood. They are typically contrasted with syntactic analyses that emphasize sentence structure and semantic analyses that address meaning. Computational linguistics and natural language processing often rely on morfololoogilised approaches for tasks like lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging, and morphological disambiguation, especially for richly inflected languages.
