 Morphological gradient

The term "morphological gradient" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used, but it primarily relates to two fields: morphology in linguistics and morphology in mathematical morphology (a branch of image processing). 1. **Linguistics**: In the context of linguistics, a morphological gradient refers to the variation in word forms or structures within a language. This can include how morphemes (the smallest meaningful units of language) combine and how this impacts meaning.
