Abstract
This research is entitled "Morphonotactic in the Kurdish Language." In this study, we attempt to define and summarize the phenomenon of morphonotactic. The study relies on the semantic analysis approach. To fill gaps in the lexicon, we resort to morphological and other word production processes, or to the breaking of verbs, nouns, pronouns, and verbs. There are a number of phonetic changes and phenomena that occur in connection with phonetics and morphology in the Kurdish language. The content of our research focuses on the topics of phonetic morphology and the theoretical approaches of Troubetzkoy, as well as the sensitivity of phonetic spaces, morpheme effects, and word boundaries. The second part of the research focuses on the practical aspects of the research, including phonetic differences between morphological types, words, and phonetic and morphological sources. Lexical changes and variations in phonology are also presented with practical examples..
