Morphs, the actual forms used to realize morphemes.
A morph is the phonetic realization of a morpheme. The real form of the morpheme, the actual utterance of the morpheme.
Example:
cats bus
[cat + (-s)] [bus + (-es)]
Allomorphs, any of the different forms of a morpheme.
Allomorph is phonologically distinct variants of the same morpheme.
Different realization, manifestation of the same morpheme.
They vary in shape or pronunciation according to their condition of use.
They are a class of morphs which are semantically identical.

ReplyDeleteHello sir
ReplyDeleteI have read it and I understood the diffrences between both of them *-*
Hi Arafa, happy to hear that you have clearly understood the difference between Morphs and allomorphs. Keep goinggggggggggg................
DeleteI'm not exactly of understanding the differences between them beacuase they need to explain in the class after that I will surely understand them.
ReplyDeleteHi Enas, thanks for your response. You will clearly understand the difference between morphs and allomorphs when i explain it in the next lecture. Last week I could explain it to group-A only as I had not finished the tree-diagram explaining the morphological analysis in group-B. So, just wait for the lecture on 8-12-2016. Good luck.
DeleteIReally understand this topic very good.

Hi Kholod, thanks for your response. You will clearly understand the difference between morphs and allomorphs when i explain it in the next lecture. Last week I could explain it to group-A only as I had not finished the tree-diagram, explaining the morphological analysis in group-B. So, just wait for the lecture on 8-12-2016. Good luck.
DeleteHello sir.
ReplyDeleteI understand it very well and thank you,
but let me answer on your question.what is reduplication?
the root or stem of word is repeated and speakers adopt tone more expressive than ordinary speech.
ex:"bye-bye"
or in south African English "now-now"means immediately
Hi
ReplyDeleteMorphs that are in complementary distribution and represent the same morpheme are said to be allomorphs of that morpheme.
The alternation between the three allomorphs of -s 3rd person singular /s/,/z/,/iz/
allomorph/s/is selected when the preceding morph ends with voiceless consonant e.x likes→/s/
and voiced allomorph/z/ with morphs ending in vowel or voiced consonant e.x begins→/z/
also we add allomorph/iz/ with morphemes that end in sounds s,z,ch, sh , e.x sizes→/iz/
but in some cases it could be zero allomorph like in verb can
Reduplication is a morphological process in which a root or stem or a part of it is repeated
ReplyDeletee.x singular plural
dish dishes
Basic verb reduplication
sing singing

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon...
ReplyDeleteREDUPLICATION is a word-formation process in which meaning is expressed by repeating all or part of a word..
ex:
Sleep= sleeping
Sing= singing
*A morpheme is a unit of "sound.
ReplyDelete*Just as an allophone is a variation of a single phoneme, an "allomorph is a variety of a single morpheme.
*an allomorph is an alternate pronunciation of a phonological form of a morpheme in a particular linguistic environment...... To be continued
Here's an example...
ReplyDeleteThe English plural morpheme has (3) allomorphs:
¤ /schwa z/ ..as in misses
¤ /z/..as in walls
¤ /s/..as in books.... To be continued
Good evening,,
ReplyDeleteSorry I've forgot this part
