Abstract

The study attempted to analyze and describe the morphological system of Iniskaya in terms of free and bound morphemes and word classes. It used the descriptive design with the language as subject for study and the purposive sampling was adopted in determining the subject-respondents. The morphological system of Iniskaya is made up of free and bound morphemes as components of words. The bound morphemes are either attached or detached from roots in structure but are bound in meaning. Its word classes are content words and function words. The morphologic system of Iniskaya shares the same immediate constituents with the Cebuano-Visayan language.
