Morphological object

Morphological object is a term that is introduced in DiSciulllo & Williams (1987) to refer to one important conception of the notion 'word', viz. the conception of word as an entity constructed out of morphological atoms (= morphemes) by (concatenative) processes of affixation and compounding.
