The prosodic foot is a vital unit in linguistic analysis associated with stress and word prominence. It serves as an intermediary between syllables and words, influencing tonal systems and phonological structures through patterns like metrical parsing and foot-headedness. Language-specific manifesta

Morphological processes, as discussed by Dr. Monira I. AL-Mohizea, involve key concepts such as zero morph, internal change, exponence, suppletion, syncretism, haplology, reduplication, and stress placement. Conversion and affixation are two important methods of word formation explored in the contex
