In Bloom and Lahey's model, which element is classified as morphology?

In Bloom and Lahey's model of language, morphology falls under the category of "form." Morphology refers to the structure of words and the rules for word formation in a language. This includes understanding how morphemes, the smallest units of meaning, combine to create words and convey tense, number, and other grammatical aspects.

"Form" encompasses not only morphology but also syntax and phonology, which together contribute to the overall structure of language. By understanding morphology as a component of form, speech-language pathologists can assess and support children’s language development, particularly in areas like word formation and grammatical correctness. The other categories—content, use, and semantics—relate to the meaning of language and how it is utilized in social contexts, rather than the structural aspects that morphology addresses.
