[...] morphological system in which morphemes or morpheme classes are organized into a total linear ordering that has no apparent connection to syntactic, semantic, or even phonological representation. Systems of this latter type often go by the name of "templatic", "position class", or "slot-filler" morphology [...], where position (relative to some base) is construed to function as an abstract entity in the grammar.
