Broader concept
Definitional context(s)
- Archiphonemes are a type of control character used in the lexicon to represent morphology-level characters that may be realised in different ways orthographically depending on phonological alternations. (Ivanova, Washington & Tyers, 2022)
Example
- An archiphoneme is used as a placeholder to be later replaced with the appropriate sound determined by morphophonological rules written in twol file. (Onal & Tyers, 2019)
- The archiphonemes /U/ and /E/ have missing features that are filled in through vowel harmony. (Banerjee, Dutta & S, 2017)
- The other most obvious difference is that archiphonemes are defined only within a single language whereas metaphonemes are defined across languages. (Cahill & Tiberius, 2002)
