| Term: Allomorph Definition: One of the variant pronunciations of a morpheme, among which the choice is determined by context (phonological, grammatical or lexical). Source: Cartairs-McCathy, A. (2002). An Introduction to English Morphology: Words and Their Structure. Edinburg: Editorial Board. | Example: Past tense is another morpheme that has multiple morphs and is thus an allomorph. When you form the past tense, you add the sounds /t/, /d/, and /əd/ to words to put them in past tense, such as in talked, grabbed, and wanted, respectively.

| Term: Word Definition: A general term for a morphological form which is internally stable, can stand on its own and which in principle can be moved to a new position in a sentence. In a synthetic language like German inflected words tend to be morphologically complex whereas in an analytic language like English these are usually simpler in structure.
