Morpheme-based morphology
- Morpheme-based morphology
Morpheme-based morphology is a view on morphology with the following three basic axioms:
# Baudoin’s SINGLE MORPHEME HYPOTHESIS: Roots and affixes have the same status in the theory, they are MORPHEMES.
# Bloomfield’s SIGN BASE MORPHEME HYPOTHESIS: As morphemes, they are dualistic signs, since they have both (phonological) form and meaning.
# Bloomfield’s LEXICAL MORPHEME HYPOTHESIS: The morphemes, affixes and roots alike, are stored in the lexicon.
Morpheme-based morphology comes in two flavours, one Bloomfieldian and one Hockettian.
The Bloomfieldian tradition
For Bloomfield, the "morpheme" was the minimal form with meaning, but it was not meaning itself.
The Hockettian tradition
For Hockett, morphemes are "meaning elements", not "form elements". For him, there is a "morpheme plural", with the "allomorphs" "-s, -en, -ren" etc.
Later traditions
Within much morpheme-based morphological theory, these two views are mixed in unsystematic ways, so that a writer may talk about "the morpheme "plural" and "the morpheme "-s" in the same sentence, although these are different things.
