The following reading (on Moodle) is not essential, butyou might find it helpful/interesting:
The Past Tense Suffix /-d/ in EnglishFact From Last Unit:In English, there is a suffix /-d/ that has the following properties:
I We write it as “-ed” (even though that’s not how it’s pronounced)I It attaches to (most) verbs.I It is inflectional.I It means ‘past tense’ (the action happened in the past)
Towards MorphophonemicsPuzzling Fact 1:In English, there is a suffix [-t] that has all the key properties of /-d/:
I We write it as “-ed” (even though that’s not how it’s pronounced)I It attaches to (most) verbs.I It is inflectional.I It means ‘past tense’ (the action happened in the past)
Towards MorphophonemicsPuzzling Fact 2:In English, there is a suffix [-1d] that has all the key properties of /-d/:

Step 1:Determine the environments of the allomorphs
I Since these are all suffixes, we will write up three lists:I The phones that precede the allomorph [-d]I The phones that precede the allomorph [-t]I The phones that precede the allomorph [-1d]
Step 1:Determine the environments of the allomorphs
I Since these are all suffixes, we will write up three lists:I The phones that precede the allomorph [-d]I The phones that precede the allomorph [-t]I The phones that precede the allomorph [-1d]
Step 3:I Find the allomorph such that the sounds in its environment
share nothing in common.I Choose that allomorph as the (underlying) morpheme.
Environments of the Allomorphs:I Phones that precede [-en]: [l] [t] [N] All are consonantsI Phones that precede [-n]: [a] All are [a]I Phones that precede [-na]: [r] All are [r]

Conclusion: The Swedish Definite SuffixQuestion:
I Does Swedish really have three different suffixes meaning ‘the’?I Or, can we relate these as allomorphs of the same morpheme?
Answer:I Swedish only has one suffix meaning ‘the’.I This suffix is /-en/.I This suffix undergoes the following morphophonemic rules,
which affect the way it ends up being pronounced:I /-en/ → [-n] / [a]I /-en/ → [-na] / [r]

I Finally, let’s also make clear the procedure for determiningwhat allomorphs a language has, and what they mean.
I This procedure gets a little challenging when a languagehas a lot of affixes it can use to make complex words.

Complex Words in TurkishConsider the following words from Turkish:
[denizdzikde] ‘in a little ocean’[evdzikden] ‘from a little house’[eve] ‘to a house’[elim] ‘my hand’[diSler] ‘teeth’
Observation:Turkish can express in one word what English does in many words.
Reasonable Guess:I Maybe some of these words contain a bunch of affixes?I Maybe that’s how they get so long and get such ‘big’ meanings?
(like ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’ in English)
Question: How do we show this?
