Morphophonology
From Free net encyclopedia
Morphophonology (also morphophonemic, morphonology) is a branch of linguistics which studies:
- The phonological structure of morphemes.
- The combinatory phonic modifications of morphemes which happen when they are combined
- The alternation series which serve a morphological function.
Definition (according to Trubetzkoy): In American linguistics the second and the third point are often called morphophonemics.
