The selection is conditioned by a particular morpheme forming the context:

It is determined by the specific morph to which it is attached


We can describe the environment that requires a certain allomorph by
identifying specific morphemes.
I will give an example to show clearly the morphological conditioned
Some other examples of morphological conditioning are
ox – oxen (-en pl)
is singular oxen pl from and the ‘s’ pl comes as ‘en’ and it is called ‘en’ plural
oxen become the word “ox” itself that is why MC
it does not depend on the following or preceding sound. It depends on the
morpheme itself
The use of (-en) as the plural of (ox) is determined by the specific morpheme ox
Require en plural allomorph become children
child - children (-en pl)
Sheep - sheep (Ø pl)
The singular form is the same as the plural form
There is no suffix or infix in this word. That is why we call this type as the zero
plural
The specific morpheme ‘sheep’ requires the use of plural allomorphs, this
morpheme requires of this allomorphs
Deer - deer (Ø pl)
‘Deer’ it is because the specific morpheme deer requires the use of the zero
plural allomorphs in this word
. Likewise, the occurrence of the (Ø pl) allomorph in swine, deer, sheep, trout,
pike, quail, grouse, etc., means that these special morphemes require a (Ø pl)
allomorph.
These words do not follow any specific rule, each o.ne has to be learnt
separately.
These selections are specific to the words.
So this kind of conditioning is known as ‘~. There is nothing phonologic∞al
about it. These selections are specific to the words.
