 Morpheme and allomorphs
I. Watch the video session as many times as you need and answer the questions
below.
1. What is a morpheme?
A morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of a word. “Morphemes are the little parts of words.
There are words made up of only one morpheme (boy, tree). It means they cannot split”.

Also, an allomorph is an alternate pronunciation of a phonological form of a morpheme in a

particular linguistic environment.

2. What do you understand by allomorphs?

We can understand that allomorphs all those variations that has a morpheme. Moreover,
Mendoza and Cuba mention that "sometimes morphemes have more than on the way to take a
phonetic form. If the happens, one says the morpheme has allomorphs. In English as well as
Spanish, the concept of Number is expressed through allomorphs. Spanish allomorphs are [s]
and [es] and in English the allomorphs are [s], [z] and [ɪz]."
Examples:
Spanish: [kásas], [leónes] casas, leone
English: [kaps], [toyz], [vóysɪz] cops, toys, voices

3. What are allomorphs?

Allomorphs are variations of a morpheme. Let’s have a look of some examples:
A house
An apple
As we can see A and An are indefinite articles. They don’t have different meaning, but the have
different distribution. This is because they occur in certain phonological environments. A
appears before a consonant, while An appears before a vowel.
So A and An are allomorphs of the same morpheme, in this case A morpheme.

4. What are the different kinds of allomorphs?

Other allomorphs only happens in pronunciation, not writing. For example the definite article
“the”:
- The house [ðə]
- The apple [ði]
Allomorphs due to change, this happen because language evolves over time. For example:
- child-ren, ren is an old plural form
- house-s, s is a regular plural form
- antenna-e, e is a loanword with plural
 Other types of allomorphs are the following:

Its form can be dependent on the

Phonologically neighbouring phonemes. E.g. [-z], [-s], [-iz].
Each of them occurs in a predictable set of
Conditioned allomorphs
environments.

Their form seems to be a purely accidental

Lexically Conditioned one, linked to a particular vocabulary item.

These days most linguists accept that the
allomorphs form geese represents two morphemes,
goose + plural and they cannot be separated.

5. Give some examples of allomorphs and explain

Allomorphs of past tense

[t] as in talk/talked, after voiceless sounds
[d] as in grabbed, after voiced sounds
[әd] as in want/wanted, after “t” or “d”

Plural allomorphs
[z] occurs on nouns ending in s, z, š, z, č, j. (sibilants)
[s] occurs following all other voiceless sounds
[z] occurs following all other voiced sounds

II. Watch the second video and answer the questions below

6. Divide some words into morphs.

6. Divide some words into morphs

7. What is the classification of morphemes?

MORPHEMES

BOUND FREE

OPEN-CLASS CLOSED-CLASS
nouns conjunctions
AFFIX ROOT
verbs prepositions
adjectives determiners

INFLECTIONAL DERIVATIONAL
- er un-
-s - ness
-ifly
- ed

8. Where does the element appear in relations to the root?

• Cherrytree- s suffix
In this example the bound morpheme appears in the end.

• Un – reliable prefix
In this example the bound morpheme appears before reliable

• Fan – bleedin – tastic infix

In this example the bound morpheme appears in the middle of the word or in the middle of a
root

9. What is the classification of morphemes?

 According to Ronald W. Langacker said on his book language and it is structure has
divided morphemes into two classes

Lexical morphemes Grammatical morphemes

10. What are the functions of the morphemes?

Functions of morphemes

According to the video, the functions of

morphemes some of those can be lexical
they can convey meaning but morphemes
can also have grammatical functions
expressing grammar and here we can
distinguish between derivation, inflection
and lexicon grammar.

 Derivation and inflection is usually something to talk about bound morphemes.

 Lexicon and grammar is usually something to talk about free morphemes.
