The Morphological Structure of Roots and Linking Elements

Abstract

The structure, distribution, and meaning of word roots in Mongolian have been the subject of extensive study for many years. Most scholars agree that the structure of Mongolian word roots can be categorized as VC, VCV, VCV, CV, CVCV, and CVC. However, some researchers argue that root morphems in Mongolian are limited to the structures V and CV. While the CV structure is quite common in Mongolian, but it is difficult to accept the notion that all Mongolian word roots conform exclusively to this pattern. Furthermore, there are not available instances of roots consisting of a single vowel in Mongolian, with the notable exception of the Ancient Mongolian auxiliary verb *a-. Therefore, it is essential to clarify the structure of word roots and derivative roots in the Mongolian language.
