| Citazioni | 'Complementary morphemes' have differences in meaning, but within the same semantic category, and are in complementary occurrence in at least one series. 'Complementary morphemes' must, of course, be distinguished from 'complementary allomorphs'. Allomorphs are complementary in all occurrences, but morphemes may be complementary only in certain structural series. |
