1. Definition of morphophonemics:
a. The form change of morpheme is based on the sounds surround it which relates to the
correlation between morphemes and phonemes. Parera ( 1982:42)
b. Morphophonemics refers the changes of phoneme as a result from themerging of one
morpheme and another, he also states that moephophonemic process is a process of
form changes in which phoneme and morpheme are involved. Ramlan (2001:83)
c. When we talk about morphophonemic process it will be related to the affixation
processes ,there is a term called morphonemic procesess. The term morphophonemic
procesess is derived two words, they are “morpheme and phoneme”. Fromkin
(1990:141)
2. The change form of phoneme when we compare two morpheme or more which have same
affixation. Example : visited pronounced as /vIsItId/ -> /Id/ , laughed pronounced as /la:ft/-
>/t/ , roamed pronounced as /roUmd/->/d/
1.Loss of phoneme
One or more phonemes that are present in the normal allomorph may be missing in another
allomorph.
Examples:
2.Addition of phoneme
One phoneme which is not present in the normal allomorph may be added to another
allomorph.
Examples:
a.The phoneme /-n-/ is added to the normal form of {solemn} pronounced /solem/ in solemnize.
b.The phoneme /-g-/ is added to the normal form of {long} in {longer} and {longest}.
3.Consonant change
Examples:
4.Assimilation: A phonemic change which takes place when two morphemes are combined
results in neighbouring phonemes becoming more like each other.
Examples:
5.Dissimilation: The dissimilation takes place when two morphemes are combined results in
neighbouring phonemes becoming less like each other.
Examples:
Examples:
It is the substitution of another syllabic vowel or diphthong for the one which appears in the
normal allomorph.
