From one-to-many From many-to-one

• The discussion on how phonemic representations of
  utterances are realized phonetically.

• From one-to-many
• From many-to-one

• One can derive one word from another by the
  addition of derivational morphemes.Extion ,
  ance ( verb root ?noun) al , ic ( noun?
  adjective)
• B. The additional suffixes changes the stress
  pattern of the wordthe vowel stressed
  ?unstressed

•              A.                          
           B. / i /  
  compete              i     competition      
  / I /   medical            
  I       medicine               
  / e /   maintain           e

Example--From many to one

• In column A all the red color vowels are stressed
  vowels with a variety of different vowel phones
  in column B all the red color unstressed vowels
  are pronounced ? ?. We defined a morpheme as a
  sound/meaning unit. Changing either would make a
  different morpheme. It doesnt seem plausible for
  speakers of English to represent these root
  morphemes with distinct phonemic forms if there
  is some general rule that relates the stressed
  vowels in column A to the unstressed schwa vowel
  ? ?in column B.

6
The tense morpheme can appear as either /d/, /t/,
/ Id/. The forms of the tense morpheme are
distributed according to the following
conditionsA.The tense morpheme takes the form
/t/ if the verb ends in /p, k, f/.
Ex look?looked /lukt/ B.The tense morpheme
takes the form /d/ if the verb ends in/ b, m,
d, n, g, v, l, w, j/, or any vowel. Ex
close?closed /klozd/C.The tense morpheme takes
the form /Id/ if the verb

ends in /s, z, g,t/. Ex want?wanted /wantId
