morphotactics, n. pl. Linguistics.|mɔːfəʊˈtæktɪks|
[F. Gr. µορϕ-ή form + tactics.]
The study of the sequence of morphemes in a language (morpheme b). Hence morphoˈtactic a.; morphoˈtactically adv.
1958A. A. Hill Introd. Linguistic Structures vi. 68 The term ‘phonotactics’, now widely used, as well as other terms in -‘tactics’ to indicate sequences of items such as ‘morphotactics’ and ‘logotactics’, I owe to an unpublished lecture by Robert P. Stockwell delivered before the Linguistic Institute held at the Georgetown University Institute of Languages and Linguistics in 1954. Ibid. viii. 120 With most prebases, it is a morphotactic characteristic which identifies them. Ibid., These are the ‘grammatical endings’ of familiar terminology. They can be defined morphotactically as morphemes which stand frequently before terminal junctures. Ibid. xxi. 414 Morphotactics gives us the partial predictability of morphemes and allomorphs. 1962E. F. Haden et al. Resonance-Theory for Linguistics iii. 35 Whereas in morphemics our task is to identify the form and the property of a grammatically functioning unit, in morphotactics we focus our attention on such a unit occurring in a sequence of morphemes... The morphotactic identification will be made with the same criteria for determining Form and Property as in morphemics. Ibid. 40 Morphotactics complements morphemics with morphology in a manner exactly parallel to phonotactics and phonemics within phonology. 1966S. M. Lamb Outl. Stratif. Gram. ii. 23 When a lexonic ordering is of elements belonging to different morphotactic classes, e.g. verb stem and verb suffix, it is up to the morphotactics to determine their relative order. 1967D. G. Hays Introd. Computational Linguistics xi. 184 The morphotactic rules come to light as restrictions on sequence are found... The establishment of the morphotactics can be exceedingly simple or as complex as the development of a full syntax. 1970G. Sampson Stratificational Gram. vi. 59 The morphotactics generates sequences of ‘words’ (M-Word), separated by the downward-determined element ‘word-boundary’. Ibid. 62 The preference value of this derivation is six, one from the semotactic trace, four from the lexotactic, and one from the morphotactic. |
