| Citazioni | A definition [of morpheme] which contrasts one phonetic-semantic entity with all other entities in the language still permits the sub-morphemic distinctions of phonetic form and semantic areas within the basic distinctiveness which sets off such a form from other possibly related forms. [...] we can say that the participial suffixes /-n/ and /-d/ are neverless allomorphs, each having its sub-morphemic distinction of meaning derived from its own distribution. |
