The Concept of the Morphophone
Language1967Vol. 43(1), pp. 306–306
Abstract
The phonemic inventory (overall pattern) of a language must account for every contrast occurring in any idiolect. Utterances OCCUR in the phonemes of an idiolect, and phonemes are therefore the ultimate units of lexical items. But a three-stratum, twenty-seven level model for linguistic analysis indicates structural units-the MORPHOPHONES-between phoneme and morpheme. Morphophones are seen as the basic units of the morphemes, and are themselves composed of dialectally different phonemic variants, which are non-contrasting in the same lexical items. Further, there are systematic alternations between morphophones themselves-substitutions, alterations, and replacements.
