I seriously doubt that 'morphonology' is an acceptable alternative to 'morphophonology' 132.229.191.111 08:42, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] English examples

Aren't a/an, the/"thee" and to/"too" also examples? A book, an apple. The book, "thee" apple. To ("t'") go, to ("too") ask. --Kjoonlee 07:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

All illustrate the point. However, orthographically a/an is simply phonemic (or at least as close to phonemic as you can get with English), since the "underlying" form is not written, while the, etc. are orthographically morphophonemic. kwami (talk) 08:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the IPA examples be in square brackets instead of between slashes? They're phonetics, not phonemics, as far as I can see - and the plural morpheme is to the best of my knowledge always expressed by the phoneme /s/, which can be realised as both [s] and [z]. 80.167.153.43 (talk) 16:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
