A、morphemes are abstract units
B、allomorphs are phonetically conditioned and thus predictable
C、morphs are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning
D、monomorphemic words coincide with words and function freely in a sentence
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:本题考查词素变体。通常一个词素只有一个形素来体现,但有些词素在不同的语言环境下由不同形素来体现,这种变异现象被称为词素变体。一个词素的不同实现就称为该词素的词素变体。比如名词复数的词素-s在不同的语言环境中就有许多词素变体:在cats中是/s/, bags中是/z/, matches中是/iz/比如复数词素-s,这一例子体现出词素变体在语音上是有条件的,因此是可预测的。所以本题选B。
