"Concatenative morphology", which in the more familiar languages appears almost exclusively, involves prefixation and suffixation only. Thus, morphemes are discrete elements linearly concatenated at the right or the left end of the base of the morphological operation. Morphology of this type is subject to analysis by a relatively simple discovery procedure. Given an adequate phonological representation, concatenative morphemes can be recovered by a left-to-right (or right-to-left) parse of words searching for invariant recurrent partial strings, possibly with constant meaning or function.
