Morphology...

'A morphology is the study of the structure and form of a language system, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds. In this book, a morphology is presented for the study of the language of motion-graphics design...

The functioning components of the morphology are its various attributes and variables. Generally, the variables cover a spectrum of possibilities for each attribute. Some describe a range, others are distinct opposites. Hierbert describes this as a contrast continuum. Barthes used the term "binary opposition". It is a way of thinking not only about design, but about life. For example, considering the human attribute of "feeling", we do not really understand the variable "happy" until we understand "sad".'
