Strauss, Steven L. – Glossa, 1980
Morpheme distribution is declared sufficiently independent of phonological considerations to warrant a theory of autonomous morphology. The "maximal nesting principle" proposed requires that each affix be attached to a new nonterminal node. This principle forces a new analysis of "-ate" derived verbs and eliminates the morphological abstractions…

An examination focuses on several instances in which consonant mutation, whereby the initial consonant of a word or constituent undergoes morphophonological changes, occurs in standard literary Welsh.

Suggests that if P Rules must be proposed to derive surface alternations of autonomous phonemes, then syntax is at least "being" replaced by morphology. (Executive Office of the AABS, 231 Miller Rd., Mahwah, NJ…

Spencer, Andrew – Journal of Linguistics, 1986
Presents: (1) the basic facts of vowel-zero alternations and palatalization in Polish; (2) a nonlinear account of the vowel-zero alternations; (3) a reanalysis of palatalization facts in terms of morpholexical rules; and (4) speculations relating to learnability considerations and the nature of linguistic theory construction.

Leong, Che Kan – 1982
The research and practical questions about the internal lexicon, the associated network of internal representation basic to word meaning, boil down to whether in reading English the phonological route is obligatory or optional. Since the English writing system is morphophonemic, not phonetic, access to the internal lexicon cannot and should not…
