| Citazioni | As in the case of contours, we may also find segmental phonemes which have morphemic status in one environment and not in another superficially similar environment. For example, the final /t/ in /kƏpt/ constitutes a morphemic segment meaning past ('I cupped.' 'I cup my hands.'), whereas in /kƏt/ the final /t/ is not a morphemic segment by itself but part of the morphemic segment 'cut' ('I cut my hand'). |
