Why does parsing fail in agglutinative languages when morphological segmentation is inaccurate?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate morphological segmentation directly impacts semantic interpretation, because identifying the correct morphemes and their meanings is essential for building a coherent meaning representation. Therefore, incorrect segmentation leads to flawed interpretation, rather than issues in phonology, syntax, or prosody alone.
