In selected sermons, this thesis is about zero affixed terms and how these terms lexically cause uncertainty. In texts and speeches, especially sermons, it is an effort to stress the meaning of the love of certain types of terms. We mean those words with zero affixed words derived without addition, i.e., words with double sense, such as a dream verb and a noun. From the text in which they happen, their significance is guessed. The paper provides a thorough analysis of these words and how they arouse uncertainty between the addresses when any sermon is delivered and contain few words of double significance. It also involves a detailed study of a category of words in some selected sermons; to get a general sense of the lexical ambiguity of these terms, these sermons were from different topics. Furthermore, the thesis has numerous sections on the theoretical context of the zero morph terms and the practical side of reviewing these terms as they appear next to an appendix in the sermons, which includes the chosen sermons. Finally, the paper has come up with the conclusions. In the three sermons selected for the current analysis, there are 42 zero affixed words. 17 of them came as nouns and 19 came as verbs, 6 as adjectives and 2 as adverbs. Zero related terms are used rather than other classes of sermons as verbs. Many of these verbs are regular. The rest of the verbs in the sermons were in the imperative's mood and active voice. Some of the verbs were in the indicative mood and the past tense. The adjectives are frequently complex.
