1.10 Morphophonology 3: -ity Affixation (English)
When an affix is attached to a stem (or word) to create a new word, a nontrivial phonological change may occur (see Linguistics, pp. 36-37). Lists I and I1 illustrate just such a case. Consider the two lists of words and the relation between them, and answer the questions that follow.
|
List I |
List I1 |
1. |
eccentric |
eccentricity |
2. |
elastic |
elasticity |
3. opaque |
opacity |
|
4. |
electric |
electricity |
5. |
peptic |
pepticity |
6. |
specific |
specificity |
7. |
periodic |
periodicity |
8. |
endemic |
endemicity |
9. |
volcanic |
volcanicity |
10. |

11. |

Questions
A.Transcribe the pairs of words in lists I and I1 in the spaces provided. Indicate the placement of main stress (e.g., capable /kk~pab!/).
B.Describe what changes occur in the words in list I when the affix -ity is attached.
C.You may not be familiar with some of the words in the lists. However, you should have had no trouble determining where the main stress of the derived words (those in list 11) is located. State a generalization about the position of the main stress in the words in list 11.
