Abstract
Morphology is the unexplored area in Tripura Bangla (TB) till date. In this article, the author investigates the morphological properties of the language under study. TB attests concatenative morphological processes like inflection, derivation, compounding and reduplication. TB inflections are carried out through declension and conjugation by suffixes only. Only noun and pronoun undergo declension for number and case. Declension for gender is very less productive. As across languages, conjugation takes place for verb in TB too. TB deploys prefixes and suffixes for formation of new words in derivation. There are instances of class maintaining as well as class changing affixations. Compounding in TB is divided into co-compounding and sub-compounding. Reduplication in TB is comprising of complete reduplication, partial reduplication, echo word formation and mimic word.
