Grammatical condition
The distribution of the allomorphs of the regular plural
morpheme presented above where [Id] is found after words
ending with [t] or [d],[t] after words ending with a voiceless
segment,and [d] after words ending with a voiced segment
is said to be phonologically conditioned (i.e. predictable
allomorph).

present past past participle


Ex: kill kill-ed [d] kill-ed [d]
want want-ed [id] want-ed [id]
Lexical condition
sun

Lexycally conditioned allomorphs belong to 5


unpredictable allomorph because the selected

allomophs are the results of the idiosyncracy of the

This term is used to gone (among others).

nouns, irregular
verbs, or irregular
adjectives. A typical
of this proces.
Ex:go, went, and
Other typical examples of total supletion are the
adjectives good and bad, where the comperative forms
of the two are better and worse respectively, rether
than the regular forms.

Ex :godder and badder.


Word building ( analysis and synthesis)

Words that are capable of undegoing word


building (analysis and synthesis) are only
those that belong to the lexical category, i.e
nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Because function categories like prepositions,
conjunction, or demostratives in English
especially consist of only one simple free
morpheme.
we will assume without argument that this word
consists of three morphemes: free morpheme rich,and
bound morphemes en-and-ment.
How do we know that? The answer is that because
prefix en-and suffix –ment with the same meanings are
also found in words like en-large-ment and em-bitter-
ment.
ex: enrichment enrichment

Enrich ment en richment

En rich rich ment


The ungrammaticality of (b) above can be
detected more quickly and easily if the
derivational process includes the category of each
level of derivation. To give a clearer picture of
what we mean by ‘giving the category of each
level of derivation,’ consider the following two
diagrams,and judge the advantages of these two
diagrams compared with trhe above diagrams
wich have no categories of each level of
derivation.
Ex: enrichment (N) enrichment

Enrich(V) ment en richment(N)

En rich (A) rich (A) ment
