Abstract
One may expect to find instances of phonologic (morpho-phonemic) alternation in almost any language. In English there are changes in consonants, vowels, and stress, insertions, and elisions;' and many of these are conditioned only by the phonetic surroundings of the morphemes. An example is the possessive suffix, which is -az (or -Lz) after a sibilant, -z after a voiced non-sibilant, -s after a voiceless nonsibilant.
