Morphology is a subdiscipline of linguistics that studies word structure.
Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies such rules across as many languages as possible.

 Inflection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Japanese, a probable language isolate, shows a high degree of Inflection on verbs, less so on adjectives and nouns, but it is always strictly agglutinative and extremely regular.
In English many nouns are inflected for number with the inflectional plural affix -s (as in "dog" → "dog-'''s'''"), and most English verbs are inflected for tense with the inflectional past tense affix -ed (as in "call" → "call-'''ed'''").
Latin is in fact more complicated, showing Ablaut in the verb paradigm, and also some verb Inflection for voice (which is realized only by syntactic means in its daughter languages), as well as a more complicated noun paradigm (with several patterns of declension, and three genders instead of the two found in most Romance tongues).
