a linguistic field that explores the interactions between morphology and phonology, investigating how morphological processes can affect the pronunciation and phonetic realization of words
What is "morphophonology"?
Morphophonology is the study of how sounds and word structures interact in a language. It looks at how the pronunciation of words changes when morphemes, the smallest units of meaning, are combined. For example, in English, adding the plural "-s" to a word can be pronounced differently, like "cats" with an "s" sound or "dogs" with a "z" sound. Morphophonology helps explain these changes and how they are connected to the structure of words.
