| Kiparsky’s Level Order Model of Morphology |
|
Definition
Basic features of __________:
There are different types of morphological rules (or morphemes):
Rules of a given type must apply before rules of a second type (i.e., they are ordered)
These “blocks” or types of rules define LEVELS in the model. |

Term
| Level 1 Rules of Kiparsky’s Level Order Model of Morphology |
|
Definition
• Derivational morphemes that are unproductive and semantically unpredictable (e.g., -ion, -ous, -ity, -th, in-)
• Inflectional morphemes that are irregular (e.g., foot -> feet, eat -> ate)
• Properties: Adding a Level 1 morpheme often has phonological effects on the base or root morpheme (e.g., -ion
o Shift in stress pattern: photograph - > photography, Economy >ecoNOMic)
o Vowel reduction: economy -> economics
o Vowel change: eat -> ate, goose - > geese
o Consonant changes: populate - >population |
