| Abstract In this study, we have explained, described and categorized the morphosyntactic system of nouns, adjectives, and adverbs in Azerbaijani language, Zanjani dialect. The subject language variety is one of the south-eastern branches of the southern Azerbaijani and it is an agglutinative and suffixing language. The inflectional structure of words in Zanjani dialect has been investigated in the present study, in which every word type has its own inflectional structure and all of the morphological and morphosyntactic suffixes have their own idiosyncratic position and function in word structure. The findings of this study pave the way for developing a morphological parser for the language and to use it in any type of text analysis. Due to the fact that the language is suffixing one and the affixes are added to the stem as a suffix; therefore, by recognizing the word type of the stem the parser can work on a proposed structure and analyze the text. Nouns in Zanjani dialect have the inherent inflectional feature of number and contextual inflectional features of case and agreement. Adjectives possess the inflectional feature of degree, and adverbs do not have any inflectional system. |
