The Role of Morphology in English Vocabulary Teaching
Abstract
Vocabulary is the most important factor in language composition. Guiding English learners to acquire English vocabulary is an important task. Based on the morphological theory, this research starts from the internal structure of the word and tries to explore the rules of word formation in English vocabulary in order to provide some useful enlightenment for English vocabulary acquisition.References
