A Paradigm Shift in Morphosyntactic Analysis: Re-evaluating the Functional Architecture of Language

Abstract

This study critiques and re-examines the traditional perspectives on morphosyntactic frameworks, which have long dominated the field of linguistics. Employing a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis and qualitative narrative, we conducted an extensive survey of syntactic structures across multiple languages. Our findings reveal significant discrepancies between established theoretical models and empirical data, demonstrating that conventional frameworks lack the adaptability required for modern linguistic phenomena. Notably, we discovered that certain morphosyntactic features previously deemed universal are, in fact, language-specific and context-dependent. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between form and function in language, fostering a more nuanced approach to syntactic analysis.
