F. Plank, Morphology I: 5. Morphology in Relation to Phonology 14 From the point of view of phonology, phonological rules can be distinguished depending on whether they only make reference to phonological structures and domains or are subject to morphological (or also lexical) conditions. Examples: In German, consonants are devoiced in syllable-final position (that is, the opposition voiced – voiceless is neutralised in final position, with voiceless as the only option) – a case of pure phonology. Vowels of word stems are umlauted (= fronted) when these stems are followed by suffixes for certain morphological categories, with most of the relevant suffixes containing a non-back, non-low vowel (e.g., Mops, Mops-e DAT.SG, Möps-e PLURAL) – a case of morphologically conditioned phonology.
F. Plank, Morphology I: 5. Morphology in Relation to Phonology 15 Morphologically conditioned phonology is usually referred to as mor(pho)phonology. There has been and continues to be much controversy over what exactly is to be subsumed under mor(pho)phonology and how this intermediate realm is to be dealt with precisely in an overall model of lexicon and grammar.
