Abstract :

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Morphology describes the structure of words in a language. It basically deals with the description of the internal structures of the words better known in linguistics as the minimum free forms. Morphology is the details of word formation in a language. The morphological constructions which consist of both inner and outer layers may be called as formatives. Thus the basic structure of any word can be divided into stem plus formatives. Certain characteristic features of both derivational and inflectional formation are discussed for a better understanding of Odia word formation. We can take<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>the last word in the sentence and pronounces it slowly<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>and carefully are over and over again until he is sure that he is pronouncing every sound correctly. This may have come<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>from<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>our own knowledge that in Indian languages the verb forms which occur at the end of the sentences<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>in the center of expressions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
