Abstract
This study is an attempt made to describe and analyze Gawwada morphology. The
objective of the thesis is to identify different inflectional and derivational morphemes on
selected word classes such as noun, pronoun, adjective and verb, and account for different
morphemes and their variants.
The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter one is on the background of the study, which
involves information on the language and the people, objective, significance, review of
previous work, methodology and limitation of the study. Chapter Two presents some
aspects of the phonology of the language, which is believed to be useful in analyzing the
morphology of the language. Chapter Three deals with inflections of various grammatical
categories such as number, gender, definiteness, case, person, etc, on selected word
classes. Chapter Four treats different derivation al affixes of nouns, adjectives, verbs and
negative verb formation. Finally, the last chapter gives the summary and conclusion of the
thesis.
