Abstract: | This article presents evidence that a relatively minor regularity in the morphophonemics of Turkish is psychologically real for speakers of that language. The experimental procedure used was to present subjects with nonsense words ending in [k] which they then had to use in a phonological environment that could be expected to condition a deletion of the final consonant in polysyllabic forms. Subjects performed according to expectation, retaining the final [k] in monosyllables and dropping it in polysyllables. |
