| Citazioni | Zero features are covert features, but minus features (or subtractives, as I prefere to call them) are not covert. A minus feature is overt; compare for instance the French feminine form 'platte' /plat/ 'flat' with the masculine 'plat' /pla/, which may be described as derived from the feminine by subtraction. |
