MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ROMAN-GERMANIC LANGUAGES

Abstract

This paper analyzes the morphological characteristics of Roman and Germanic languages, focusing on their similarities and differences in word formation, inflection, and derivation. Morphology, the study of word structure, shows how these languages express grammatical relations through morphemes. Roman languages, such as Latin, French, and Spanish, are more inflectional, while Germanic languages, including English and German, tend to be more analytical. The comparative analysis highlights how typological differences influence grammatical meaning and linguistic development.
