In this paper firstly we present a scaling of word's morphological complexity considering reduplication, compounding, derivation, inflection and suppletivism. Secondly we show some quantitative analyses of morphological complexity with respect to arc, motif, and distances of words in a Slovak poem as an example.en400 Sprache410 LinguistikmorphologycomplexityarcmotifdistanceArticle2196-6907
