問題詳情

16. The allomorphs of the plural morpheme are determined by the last sound of the singular noun to which the morpheme isattached. The allomorphs of the past-tense morpheme are determined by the last sound of the verb to which the morpheme isattached. There is striking similarities in the processes required to generate the correct forms of these inflectionalmorphemes. Which of the following description is incorrect?
(A) There is a schwa insertion process as schwa is inserted before a word-final /z/ that follows a morpheme ending in asibilant.
(B) There is an assimilation process as word-final /z/ is devoiced following a morpheme ending in a voiceless sound.
(C) There is a schwa insertion process as schwa is inserted preceding a word-final /d/ that follows a morpheme ending in avelar stop.
(D) There is an assimilation process as word-final /d/ is realized as [t] following a morpheme that ends in a voiceless sound.

Allomorphs：一個語素在不同情況有不同發音。例子：-s (hats/dogs/boxes), -ed (slammed/slipped/stilted).題目：複數語素(-s)的allomorphs是由與語素相連的單數名詞的最後一個音決定的。過去式語素(-ed)的allomorphs由語素所在動詞的最後一個音決定。Schwa就是/ə/音(C) There is a schwa insertion process as schwa is inserted preceding a word-final /d/ that follows a morpheme ending in a velar stop.艱深的翻譯：(C) Schwa被插在/d/音前面，跟在一個velar stop後面例如：velar stop有/k/就舉look為例，look變成looked，looked唸做/ lᴜkt/，沒有schwa音插在裡面(A) Schwa被插在/z/前面，跟在sibilant音後面，如：buses，的確有/ ə/音的插入(B)當字的最後是無聲音(p, t, k, s等)時，morpheme “-s” (複數+s) 本來的/z/音會同化而變成無聲音，如books /bᴜks/  (而dogs的g是有聲子音會是/dɔgz/)補：Plural forms 有3種發音：[s], [z] or [ɪz]補：Assimilation：音在不同字母的前後會受影響，如”his son”的”his”最後的“s”和後面的同化了(D) 當字的最後是無聲音時，Morpheme “–ed”本來的/d/音會同化成/t/，如：looked的發音為/lᴜkt/

(C) There is a schwa insertion process as schwa is inserted preceding a word-final /d/ that follows a morpheme ending in a velar stop. 應該改成alveolar stop / t / or / d /
