This document discusses homophones in morphology. It defines a homophone as a word that sounds like another word but has a different meaning and spelling. The document notes that in morphology, homophones must be remembered as different morphemes. It provides examples of homophones like "sale/sail" and "meet/meat" to illustrate this point. The document also explains that this is true for bound morphemes like verbal, noun plural, and noun possessive suffixes that are homophonous but represent different morphemes.

2. o. HOMOPHONES
A homophone is a word that sounds like
another word but has a different meaning
and a different spelling. In morphology, it
must be remembered that homophones
are different morphemes.

4. In morphology, it must be remembered that
homophones are different morphemes.
Examples:
1. Did you like the meet? /mit/ ( track meet)
2. Did you like the meat ? /mit/ ( roast beef)
Those two homophonous words are two different morphemes.
:The same is true for bound forms
1. Verbal inflectional suffix: It feels /-z/ good
2. Noun plural inflectional suffix: Those frogs /-z/
3. Noun possessive inflectional suffix: John’s /-z/ book
Those three homophonous /-z/ s are three different morphemes.

5. • Homophones are words that sound alike but
differ in meaning:
heir, air
pare, pair, pear
• It is important to remember that words like
these are different morphemes.
• The same applies to bound morphemes
it feels /-z/ good
those frogs /-z/
