Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn't be serious.

I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.

We must consider the distinctive characters and the general nature of plants from the point of view of their morphology, their behavior under external conditions, their mode of generation, and the whole course of their life.

The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted.

Morphology is used across various scientific fields to discuss forms and structures.

Interdisciplinary Word

When studying morphology, precise and clear language is used to describe structures.

Scientific Descriptions

The term often helps to visualize the physical forms in biology, geology, and other sciences.

Visual Imagery

Morphology in linguistics refers to constructing words by combining morphemes.

Word Building

Linguistic morphology can be thought of as solving puzzles to create or decode words.

Language Puzzles

Morphology illustrates how languages evolve, reflecting new word formations over time.

Language Evolution

In biology, morphology often leads to classifications based on form and structure.

Biology Focus

Comparing morphologies can highlight similarities and differences between species or rocks.

Comparative Study

 working out the methods for how you put life on ice you might ask so why do we do this well as a scientist the main reason is that I want to understand the history and the diversity of life on Earth for 300 years we've been studying the morphology of animals the behavior of animals the ecology of animals what

 During the twilight years of this century, I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today. Humanity will take flight and soar.
