Question

A morpheme that has syntactic characteristics of a word, but depends phonologically on another word or phrase :

• A. Clitic
• B. AIIomorph
• C. Phoneme
• D. Lexicon

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Clitic

• Allomorph refers to different forms of a single morpheme depending on context, but it does not have the same syntactic dependency as a clitic.

• Phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in speech, not a morpheme with syntactic function.

• Lexicon refers to the vocabulary of a language, not a type of morpheme.
