形态学关注的是构成单词的元素，以及这些元素被组织成不同种类的层次成分。在语法讨论中，我们常常把词当作构成语法操作的终端字符串的元素。不用说，这充其量只是一个粗略的近似值。例如，众所周知，动词的时态语素和名词的数格语素具有独立的句法元素的地位，需要在终端字符串中单独的节点，但这些语素都不是一个词。形态学的一个中心目的是解释不同语言将这些普遍的形态学实体包装成单词的巨大差异。以(1)中的英语有限动词形式为例。
Morphology is concerned with the elements that compose words and with the organization of these elements into hierarchical constituents of different kinds. In syntactic discussions we often speak as though words were the elements that make up the terminal strings which are operated on by the syntax. It hardly needs saying that this is at best a crude approximation. It is well known, for example, that the Tense morpheme of verbs and the Number and Case morphemes of nouns have the status of independent syntactic elements that require separate nodes in the terminal string, yet none of these morphemes is a word. And a central purpose of morphology is to account for the vastly different ways in which different languages package these universal morphological entities into words. As an example consider the finite verb forms of English in (1).
