cranberry morph(eme)
– morpheme (or allomorph) that occurs in only one word 
(more precisely, only one lexeme). 
defective 
– term applied to a lexeme that lacks one or more of the grammatical words 
(and the associated word forms) that most lexemes of its class possess. For example, 
the archaic verb lexeme ‘said’ (as in quoth he) is defective in that it has only a past 
tense form.
derivational morphology –
area of morphology concerned with the way in which 
lexemes are related to one another (or in which one lexeme is derived from another) 
through processes such as affixation.
duality of patterning
– parallel divisibility of speech into both meaningless units 
(sounds, syllables) and units with meaning or grammatical function 
(morphemes, words). 
endocentric (of a compound or derived word
) – possessing a head. See also 
exocentric. 
exocentric (of a compound or derived word)
– lacking a head. For example, the 
noun sell-out is exocentric because it contains no component that determines its word 
class (sell being a verb and out being an adverb). 
formal generality
– of a derivational process, the characteristic of being formally 
regular and also of exploiting all or nearly all potential bases, without idiosyncratic 
‘gaps’. The formation of verbs with the suffix -en, although formally regular, is not 
entirely general because it exhibits gaps: for example, there are no verbs ‘wetten’, 
‘blunten’ or ‘limpen’ corresponding to the adjectives wet, blunt and limp. 
formal regularity
– of a derivational process, the characteristic that the kind of base 
to which the process can apply can be relatively precisely specified. For example, the 
formation of verbs with the suffix -en is formally regular in that nearly all its bases 
are monosyllabic adjectives ending in obstruents (plosives and fricatives), e.g. tough, 
fat, damp.
