Abstract

The scientific analysis of the structure of the language is called grammar, of which morphology is an important and basic part, and Pashto grammar has a very deep relationship with other basic branches (phonology and syntax) and can be called the connection chain, as well as Linguistics has an inseparable relationship with other branches such as lexicology, etymology and semantics, but it also has special lines of difference with each section. Phonology provides the raw material for morphology, clarifying its characteristics and leading to morphological interactions. So phonology cannot develop without morphology and morphology cannot develop without phonology. Morphology then provides the raw material for syntax, clarifying its function and setting the stage for syntactic interactions. Therefore, morphology cannot develop without syntax, and syntax cannot be created without morphology. Since morphology deals with morphemes, it is closely related to other parts of linguistics such as lexicology, etymology and semantics.
