nazareneangel Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I have an essay that i am really stuck on. Can anyone shed some light on What is the difference between conditioned and free allophonic variation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Lets assume for simplicity that we are talking about a morpheme that has two allophones. Free variation: The two forms can be used in the same environments with no restrictions. Conditioned variation: There is a rule that governs when one form is used and when the other one is used.
