# Morphosyntactic Analysis

Parse word structure and sentence patterns to document grammatical systems for language description and typology.

## Overview

This skill enables analysis of word structure and sentence patterns. It encompasses morphological parsing, syntactic analysis, and grammatical description for language documentation and typological research.

## Capabilities

### Morphological Analysis
- Morpheme identification
- Word class assignment
- Inflection patterns
- Derivation processes
- Compounding rules

### Syntactic Analysis
- Constituent structure
- Phrase structure
- Dependency relations
- Word order patterns
- Agreement systems

### Grammatical Description
- Part of speech inventory
- Clause types
- Voice and valency
- Tense-aspect-mood
- Case systems

### Typological Classification
- Cross-linguistic comparison
- Feature cataloging
- Typological patterns
- Universal tendencies
- Areal features

## Usage Guidelines

### Analysis Process
1. Collect language data
2. Segment into morphemes
3. Identify grammatical categories
4. Analyze sentence patterns
5. Document rules
6. Compare typologically
7. Write description

### Morphological Parsing
- Identify word boundaries
- Segment morphemes
- Label morpheme types
- Note allomorphy
- Document paradigms

### Syntactic Description
- Identify constituents
