Analytical Principles
1. Forms with the same meaning and the same
sound shape in all their occurences are
instances of the same morpheme
2. Forms with the same meaning but different
sound shapes maybe instances of the same
morpheme if their distributions do not overlap
(seats, shades, hedges)
3. Not all morphemes are segmental (run- ran,
speak-spoke)
4. A morpheme may have zero as one of its
allomorphs (fish as singular, fish as plural)
