Review of the literature
The study of words, their morphology, and their relationships to other words in the same language is known as morphology. It examines the composition of words, including their stems, roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The term was expanded to include the area of grammar that studies sentence structure and word structure in the twentieth century.
Using morphological typology, languages are categorized according to how morphemes are used to create new words in each language. Analytic languages and synthetic languages, each referring to the opposing end of a continuous continuum encompassing all languages in the world, are the two main categories that exist to distinguish all languages. It is frequently easy to pinpoint meaning units. It is frequently easy to distinguish between morphemic meaning or grammatical function. For instance, the Uzbek word kelmayapman can be decoded as follows:
Kel-ma-yap-man
come-neg.-progressive-singular in the first person
I won't be attending.
In grammar, an adjective is a word whose primary syntactic function is to modify a noun or pronoun (referred to as the adjective's subject), providing more context for the noun or pronoun being modified. Adjectives are one of the eight conventional components of speech, though linguists now distinguish them from terms like determiners that were once classified as adjectives but are now understood to be distinct. It originates from the Latin words ad and iacere, which convert from an I to a J in English. The adjective has been extensively studied by several linguists.
For instance, according to Miller and Fellbaum (1991) and Bierwisch (1967), long is unmarked (and short is marked) in the long/short pair of gradable antonyms, but not least, not in the same sense:
1.The train was ten cars long.
2.*The train was ten cars short.
Comparative typology establishes universal typological laws by contrasting the grammatical structures of two or more concrete languages. In the 19th century, comparative vowel tables made their debut. Their objective was to demonstrate the same ancestry of a few of modern languages that belonged to the same family. Prof. D. Jones proposed a classification system based on the idea of the so-called "cardinal vowels" in the 1920s of the XX century. However, these cardinal vowels are abstract concepts that have no bearing on a typological comparison of two languages. We will now examine a few types of differences.
