From descriptive linguistic point of view, structural analysis of word refers to anatomical analysis of morphemic structure of words. Keeping this in mind, in this chapter an attempt is made to analyse forms and functions of morphemes used in formation of Bengali words. In course of this study, an effort is also made to analyse various morphological and semantic properties of the morphemes so as to understand intricate patterns of inflection and derivation used in generation of final forms. Information obtained from structural analysis of Bengali words is a valuable input in descriptive analysis of words, as well as in language teaching, grammar book writing, and language processing. It is useful for developing a morphological processor that will identify morphemes and other formative elements that are used to generate words in Bengali. Moreover, it can also be utilized to develop a part of speech (POS) tagger that will annotate words based on their syntactic roles in a sentence within a piece of text.
