Topic: Morphophonemic


  
  What is a morphophonemic rule?
A morphophonemic rule has the form of a phonological rule, but is restricted to a particular morphological environment.
Morphophonemic rules are sensitive to their environment, unlike phonological rules.
Whenever morphological information is required to specify the environment for an allophonic rule, the rule is morphophonemic.

  Morphophonemic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To some extent English orthography reflects the etymology of its words, and as such it is partially morphophonemic.
Turkish and German both have broadly phonemic writing systems, but while German is morphophonemic, transcribing the "underlying" phonemes, Turkish is purely phonemic, transcribing surface phonemes only (at least traditionally; this appears to be changing).
A morphophonemic orthography such as this has the advantage of maintaining the orthographic shape of the root regardless of the inflection, which aids in recognition while reading.

 Language Log: The politics of pronunciation
Merriam-Webster is upbraided for gutter lexicography; linguistic democracy is firmly rejected; a bright line is drawn between "proper" and "improper" pronunciation, with morphophonemic consistency as a requirement for propriety; and regional variants are placed firmly on the "improper" side of the boundary.
Morphophonemic consistency is at best partial, as a matter of historical fact across languages (standard and otherwise), and so it's not appropriate to try to turn it into a matter of principle.
These are opinions, not facts, except perhaps for the question of morphophonemic consistency, about which I'll say more in another post.

 Hangul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Sejong seemed to prefer morphophonemic spelling (representing the underlying morphology) rather than a phonemic one (representing the actual sounds).
Over the centuries the orthography became partially morphophonemic, first in nouns, and later in verbs.
The Hangul Society, originally founded by Ju Si-gyeong, announced a proposal for a new, strongly morphophonemic orthography in 1933, which became the prototype of the contemporary orthographies in both North and South Korea.

 Theses in Linguistics at UND: E. Quigley 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Though it has been mentioned in papers written about the Finisterre- Huon languages and about the Wantoat language (another language in the Wantoat family), the Awara sound system has not been described in depth.
This paper describes the Awara phonemic inventory, autosegmental features, morphophonemic processes, and implications for the Awara orthography.
Interesting aspects of the language shown here are 1) prenasalized voiced stops, 2) complex phonemes /kw/, /ngw/ and /gw/, 3) non-universal morphophonemic processes such as devoicing of consonants intervocalically and voicing of consonants after voiceless stop consonants, and 4) counterfeeding and counterbleeding relationships between various morphophonemic processes.

 Linguistics: Methods of synchronic linguistic analysis: TRANSFORMATIONAL-GENERATIVE GRAMMAR: Chomsky's grammar.
Each of these components consisted of a set of rules operating upon a certain "input" to yield a certain "output." The notion of phrase structure may be dealt with independently of its incorporation in the larger system.
Although one sentence rather than another can be derived on some particular occasion by making one choice rather than another at particular places in the grammar, the grammar must be thought of as generating all sentences statically or timelessly.
It has been noted that, whereas a phrase-structure grammar is one that consists entirely of phrase-structure rules, a transformational grammar (as formalized by Chomsky) includes both phrase-structure and transformational rules (as well as morphophonemic rules).

 Fios Feasa: Irish Grammar for Linguists
It is a VSO language; the subject is represented sometimes synthetically by a conjugated verb form, sometimes analytically by a nominal or pronominal form.
The prepositions themselves are enclitic; they effect morphophonemic changes on following nominal objects, and many of them undergo their own changes in association with the article.
As exemplified in the above table of lenited consonants, there are extensive morphophonemic changes at the beginnings of words, called "initial mutations", whereby radical consonants are replaced with their lenited counterparts, or nasalised ones, or voiced ones.

The stem is /knig/ and the suffix /a/ is an inflectional ending marking the nominative case singular for A-stem nouns.
When the link feeding this morphophonemic set is activated, a choice has to be made where to activate /á/ or activate /´/.
Whenever there is a morphophonemic alternation within a given morpheme, that alternation must be posited as a morphophonemic set.

 Book review of Noam Chomsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A grammar needs to have a tripartite structure: a sequence of rules to generate phrase structure, a sequence of morphophonemic rules to convert strings of morphemes into strings of phonemes, and a sequence of transformational rules that transform strings with phrase structure into new strings to which the morphophonemic rules can apply.
In a phrase structure grammar the elements of the sentences are identified by constituents (noun phrase, verb phrase, etc).
In a transformational generative grammar the phrase structure (which produces the "deep structure" of a sentence) is supplemented by a transformational component and a morphophonemic component (which transform the deep structure into the surface structure of the sentence, e.g.

 jsl_1_2
This is in part due to analogical leveling to {-ov} in neuter and feminine substantives in Belorussian, and to the different ways in which stem-final hard and soft consonants correlate with the selection of desinences in each language.
The consequences of the analogical spread of {-ov} are both morphophonemic (restriction of vowel-zero alternations in certain Belorussian stems, accentual modifications in Ukrainian), and semantic (markedness reversal and semantic marking with an unexpected desinence in all three).
The spread of {-ov} to nouns of all genders both in the standard languages and in the dialects also represents the final stage of the loss of gender distinctions in the oblique plural cases of these languages, a process which was completed in the other oblique cases several centuries ago.

 Evolution of the Human Spoken Language
Across the evolution of the genus Homo these were differentiated and new phememes created, hypothetically in stages, until the phememic inventory was completed during the Upper Palaeolithic.
In the Neolithic period, it is hypothesized, syllabic concatenation with morphophonemic merging increasingly obscured the analogical significance of phememes, which gradually became what we now know as phonemes.
Nevertheless, in the roots of most modern languages a number of the primordial phememes are still recognizable [Eds].

This course will be devoted to the discussion and elucidation of problems in Hebrew phonology, morphology, and syntax beyond the discussion possible in LG502 and the exegetical work required for the M.Div.
It will deal with such matters as morphophonemic changes, the use of tenses, parallel materials from other ancient Near Eastern languages, etc. The study will be based on the translation and exegesis of the book of Ruth.
A more thorough control of the subject and difficulties of Hebrew phonology, morphology, and syntax than that provided by the basic Beginning Hebrew course is requisite for those who will be engaged in academic study and teaching of the Old Testament.

 Ikalanga Phonetics and Phonology: A Synchronic and Diachronic Study
Using both phonetic factors and typological evidence from other languages of the world, Bantu as well as non-Bantu, the book provides a careful and elaborate study on different phonological processes such as High Vowel Frication (spirantization), palatalization, velarization, aspiration and depressor consonants and tones, all of which are of great interest to linguists in general.
It further considers how these different processes produced certain sound changes diachronically some of which are still manifested as active morphophonemic alternations in this language today.
These morphophonemic alnternations are found in such morphological processes as diminutive formation, causativization, and passivization.

 LDL Babbler Su99
The scholars worked with Dr. Casby on a project entitled -- "The Acoustic Substance of Morphophonemic Forms." Its purpose was to measure and examine the acoustic substance, e.g., duration, of the morphophonemic form of is in various linguistic contexts.
This shorter duration may account for the verb forms' later development by children, as well as account for the difficulty in learning the grammatical forms by children with language impairments.
Preliminary results of the research have indeed showed that the morphophonemic form is was of less acoustic duration, and briefer, when produced in either the copula or auxiliary verb context, than when produced in the noun context.

Abstract: In the debate over the power of connectionist models to handle linguistic phenomena, considerable attention has been focused on the learning of simple morphophonemic rules.
Rumelhart and McClelland's celebrated model of the acquisition of the English past tense (1986), which used a simple pattern associator to learn mappings from stems to past tense forms, was advanced as evidence that networks could learn to emulate rule-like linguistic behavior.

This is an interesting question, and the answer relates to your earlier post on inflection and derivation.
In general, the kind of morphophonemic alternation exhibited in self/selves is still living only in inflection, whereas it once was productive in derivation as well (”halve” is an old verb based on “half,” but if you were to create a new verb based on, say, “treyf” it would have to be “to treyf”).
Some phrases do undergo morphophonemic alteration (at least, I think so; it’s not a term I use in everyday conversation) when they’re made plural.

 John Benjamins:
An internal reconstruction of Hungarian based mostly on the morphophonemic alternations of the modern language yields dramatically different results from those obtained from a purely synchronic approach to the same data.
This article presents such a reconstruction and argues that the striking contrast between the forms and processes it entails and those favored by a synchronic analysis demonstrates the need to give performance (parole) at least as much consideration as competence (langue) in the study of language history.
