THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

This article examines the role and pedagogical significance of morphological terminology in the educational process, particularly in the structure of explanatory and educational dictionaries of linguistics. Morphology, as a fundamental branch of linguistics, studies the structure, formation, and grammatical categories of words. The accurate, systematic, and scientifically grounded presentation of morphological terms in educational lexicography plays a decisive role in shaping learners’ grammatical competence. The study analyzes the classification, interpretation, and functional description of morphological terms in Uzbek linguistic dictionaries, including works by N. Mahmudov, A. Madvaliev, and G. Rahmatullayeva. The research also considers international lexicographic experience, particularly in English linguistic scholarship. The findings demonstrate that morphological terminology must be presented not only descriptively but also in relation to its semantic, paradigmatic, and syntagmatic connections within the grammatical system. The study concludes that the systematic representation of morphological terms in educational dictionaries enhances conceptual clarity, terminological consistency, and methodological effectiveness in linguistic instruction.
