What is Morphonemics ? Explain the difference between morphemes and allomorphs with suitable examples.


Morphonemics:
 Morphonemics is of or relating to a class of phonemes that belong to the same morpheme or to the relations among them and the conditions that determine their occurrences.
Difference between Morphemes and Allomorphs:
Morphology is the study of words and their structure. Morpheme is the smallest meaningful morphological unit in a language. Allomorph is a variant form of a morpheme. The main difference between morpheme and allomorph is that morpheme is concerned with the meaning and structure of a word whereas allomorph is concerned with the sound.

Difference on the basis of definition:


Morpheme:

 A morpheme is a minimal unit of meaning in a language. It can be defined as the smallest, meaningful, morphological unit in a language that cannot be further divided or analyzed. In linguistics, morphemes are classified into two categories. They are free morpheme and bound morpheme. A free morpheme is a word, that is, a free morpheme is a meaningful unit. Some examples of free morphemes include
hat, believe, cheap, talk, red, new, cow, deliver, legal, etc.
