Level Ordering:A Model For Suffix Combinations
Abstract
AbstractOne of the principles responsible for the combinatorial properties of affixes, in particular of English suffixes, is the existence of lexical strata. This model assumes that English affixes belong to different strata and that these strata interact phonologically and morphologically in intricate ways. This is called level ordering. This paper deals with level ordering as a model for suffix combinations and to what extent can we depend on level ordering in order to provide a correct order of suffix combinations.
