Morphological Devices Shaping the Inquiry into the Meaning of Life

Abstract

The media of language – spoken and written, observe basic principles of psychological conception of ideas and the subsequent encapsulation of these ideas in the physiological assemblage of meaningful sounds – consonants and vowels – ultimately manifesting in words. These words – simple described as free morphemes or complex described as combination of free morphemes or of free and bound morphemes called affixes – are imbued with meaning. Without recourse to these language elements woven together to create larger elements – sentence, clause, phrase, inquiring into the meaning of life can be affected. This paper, therefore, delineates the devices underlining meaning – enquiry resulting in successful inquiry into the meaning of life. The paper also strives to appraise language use of the impossibility of creating literary or non literary texts (discourses) without knowledge of word formation and  understanding the internal structures of words.
