Morphophonemics as semiotic

Morphophonemics as semiotic Abstract 1. One might easily choose to identify the beginnings of generative grammar with the appearance of Roman Jakobson's ‘Russian conjugation’ (1948).1Abandoning the traditional two stem treatment of the Russian verb, Jakobson showed that all surface forms could be derived from a single stem (with some exceptions) by the application of certain morphophonemic rules, most prominent among which was the RULE OF TRUNCATION. This rule dictates the deletion of stem final vowels before desinence initial vowels and stem final consonants before desinence initial consonants; conversely, sequences of vowel plus consonant and vice versa are maintained intact. Thus in Jakobson's ‘one stem system’ (as it came to be called) both govorjú ‘I talk’ and govoril ‘he talked’ are derived from a basic stem govor'í-: http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Linguistica Hafniensia: International Taylor & Francis
