Document Summary
Writer sound change triggered by morphology (/t/ turns to a flap) Divinity sounds change triggers the i"s sound change (lengthen/shorten) Trisyllabic shortening (only seen in english literature, not linguistics) Trisyllabic shortening not sensitive to phonology of words, it is sensitive to complex morphology. Also sensitive to the kind of morphology in the word. Trisyllabic shortening (tss) morphological conditioning, complexity and what morpheme is used and lexical conditioning (sensitive to stem) Phonological conditioning target natural classes of sounds ie. oral alveolar stops target by flap. Natural classes need to be input or output. Morphology (mpa) cares about where words come from, restricted to native words not borrowed words. You can undo phonology with careful speech, but you can never undo mpa"s with careful speech. Impossible in + possible cannot be undone (mpa) I can play all night can be undone with careful speech. If it can be undone, it is the phonology, not the morphology.
