Abstract

After the world has been shaped into a global village, the need for the linguistic interactions has also increased. Generally, languages allow free production of words but some languages do not allow productivity freely. The reason of this blocking is sometimes due to the natural complexities of these languages as they developed from various regional languages. Sometimes, this blocking is due to the inherent morphological rules. Urdu is one of those languages that have natural complexity in word formation rules that hampers productivity (Hussain, 2004). The undertaken research investigates the factors that result in blocking in the Urdu language and discusses some other options to describe Urdu morphological rules. The study has special significance for Urdu grammarians, lexicologists and Urdu bilingual lexicographers.
