Abstract: This study examines the morphologic segmentation linearity in Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," focusing on the interplay between morphological units and the poem's linear structure. By analyzing the poem's morphology, the research investigates how the segmentation of words and their morphological components contribute to the overall meaning and rhythm of the text. Employing a detailed linguistic framework, the study explores the alignment of morphemes with the poem's syntactic and phonological patterns, revealing insights into Frost's use of language to enhance thematic depth and emotional resonance. The findings underscore the significance of morphological segmentation in understanding the intricate layers of poetic expression and its impact on reader interpretation. This research not only sheds light on Frost's poetic techniques but also contributes to broader discussions in linguistic studies concerning the relationship between morphology and literary form.
