The disjunct prefixes form a class with stems because they are lexical categories and they have the full range of phonological structures.
Disjunct prefixes and stems are lexical items, and so they may have the full range of phonological structures because of their privileged faithfulness status.
Furthermore, the faithfulness-based analysis is argued to give a principled explanation for the different phonological processes that affect disjunct and conjunct prefixes, a result that distinguishes this approach from other plausible analyses of the distinct prefix classes in terms of positional markedness (Steriade 1997, Zoll 1998).

The Belcourt Lecturer for 2003 combines the study of theoretical linguistics with vast experience with native language fieldwork.
Following a B.A. in Linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley (1979) and her M.A. on Middle Irish verbal morphology at UCLA (1981), she began work on her 1985 UCLA dissertation, The Lexical Phonology of Sekani, based on fieldwork primarily in the northern BC community of McLeod Lake.
In addition to her duties as professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Washington, where she has taught since 1986, she has taught Witsuwit'en Language at the University of Northern British Columbia, Carrier Linguistics at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and Advanced Phonology at the Universidad Nacional del Comahue (General Roca, Argentina).

It will be argued that it is possible to have a linguistic theory which is useful for field linguists describing languages and which also provides an explanatory framework for the investigation of the issues which have dominated theoretical discussions as well.
The Vaupés basin in north-west Amazonia is a linguistic area with a number of structural features shared by genetically unrelated Tariana from the Arawak family, languages of East Tucano subgroup of Tucano, and Makú languages.
The paper is potentially useful for linguists eager to present to a language group the application of their descriptive linguistic insights, but who must be aware that for any accepted change to occur there must be widespread buy-in on the local level.

Sharon Hargus, “The Disjunct Boundary in Babine-Witsu Wit’en” (487-513) [A phonologically important boundary in the prefix complex of some Athabaskan languages is residual or lacking in others.
H. surveys the evidence, both positive and negative, for this “disjunct boundary” in Babine-Witsu Wit’en (C. British Columbia) and concludes that, while present, it is relatively weak.
This may indicate a closer relationship between B-W and the California-Oregon Athabaskan languages than has been previously recognized.]

 Disjunct (linguistics) - Definition, explanation
In linguistics, a disjunct is a type of adverbial that expresses information that is not considered essential to the sentence it appears in, but which is considered to be the speaker's or writer's attittude towards the propositional content of the sentence.
In my opinion, the green one is better.
Sometimes, it may be difficult to distinguish between disjuncts and adjuncts as in the case of She sang beautifully in the shower, where beautifully is ambiguous; does it refer to the manner in which she sang or the way I judge her singing?
