The Ling Space | Allomorphy @thelingspace | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
How do our words change on their way out of our mouths? What kinds of rules cover their variation? In this week's episode, we talk about allomorphy: the way our morphemes change, the types of variation we find in their pronunciation, and the methods that allow us to decide what the underlying morpheme is.

This is Topic #28!

This week's tag language: Ojibwe!

We also have forums to discuss this episode, and linguistics more generally.

If you would like a discussion of the German plural, with some tables and more complexity, try this book by Monica Schmid, section 4.3, available on Google Books: books.google.ca/books?id=l8YrEZETmZcC&pg=PA113&lpg=PA117

Or if you want something that is less academic, this is more just describing where you get what: deutsch.lingolia.com/en/grammar/nouns-and-articles/plural

Looking forward to next week!
