This is when you analyze a spoken or written word to discover its pronunciation meaning?

That's called morphological analysis.

Here's why:

* Morphology is the study of word structure and how words are formed.

* Analysis means breaking something down into its parts to understand it better.

Morphological analysis involves examining the parts of a word (like prefixes, suffixes, and root words) to understand its meaning and pronunciation.

Example:

Let's take the word "unbreakable".

* Un- is a prefix meaning "not".

* Break- is the root word, meaning "to separate".

* -able is a suffix meaning "capable of being".

By analyzing the word's morphology, we understand that "unbreakable" means "not capable of being broken". The pronunciation is also influenced by the morphemes: the "un-" changes the pronunciation of the first syllable.
