Underlying representations and Bantu segmental phonology
Advances in output-oriented derivational theory are progressively subverting the notion of an underlying-surface distinction in phonology. Moreover, categorical patterning in languages’ sound systems can no longer be taken as immediate proof that phonological or phonetic forms are themselves represented in terms of categorical entities. (Harris 2007: 137)
Keywords: underlying representations, morphophonemics, alternations, phonological rules, allomorphy, generalizations
