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/

3. Kinds of Morphophonemic Changes

1.Loss of phoneme

One or more phonemes that are present in the normal allomorph may be missing in another
allomorph.

Examples:

{in-} -> /i-/ in irregular, illegal.

{-Z2} -> /-0/ in students’, pianists’.

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

A consonant changes to another consonant. A very common type of consonant change is


voicing, a voiceless consonant changes to a voiced consonant.

Examples:

a.The phoneme /-0/ is changed into /-th-/ in {paths}

b.The phoneme /-s-/ is changed to /-z-/ in {resist}.

4.Assimilation: A phonemic change which takes place when two morphemes are combined
results in neighbouring phonemes becoming more like each other.

Examples:

a.The negative prefix {in-} becomes /im-/ in impossible, imbalance.

b.The prefix {en-} becomes /em-/ in empower, embitter.

5.Dissimilation: The dissimilation takes place when two morphemes are combined results in
neighbouring phonemes becoming less like each other.

Examples:

The negative prefix {in-} becomes /ig-/ in ignoble, ignominious

6. Synthesis: It is the fusion of two consonants into a single new phoneme.

Examples:

a./-t-/ + /-y-/ becomes /-e/ in nature

b./-s-/ + /-y-/ becomes /-s-/ in pressure

7. Change of syllabic vowel or diphthong

It is the substitution of another syllabic vowel or diphthong for the one which appears in the
normal allomorph.

Examples:

a./-e-/ à /-ou-/ in swell becomes swollen.

b./-iy-/ -> /-e-/ in please becomes pleasant.
