The Morphology of the Modern French Verb (Janua Linguarum. Series Practica)

## INFLECTION Brackets [ ] indicate a phonetic transcription, and slashes / / a phonemic or morphophonemic transcription. Parentheses ( ) enclose an optional element. Suspension points ... indicate that some element (or zero) is present, but it is being ignored at that moment. A hypen -indicates morpheme boundaries between roots and endings. A plus sign + (used only when necessary) indicates morpheme boundaries between tense markers and person markers or between prefixes and roots. The sign # indicates word boundaries. A brace j in rules encloses items to be treated identically. A single slash / in rules, to be read 'in the environment of, introduces the conditions in which the rules apply. A line \_ in rules indicates the position in the above-mentioned environment of the element to the left of the arrow ->. PART ONE INFLECTION 3 Historically, we know that there once was a(n) /s/ in the sixth form, the 3sg, as well. See Pierre Fouché, Morphologie historique du français: Le verbe (Paris: Klincksieck, 1967), 339 ff.; hereinafter referred to as Morphologie historique. t Once again, we find that Old French had /s/ in at least some of these forms. See Fouché, Morphologie historique, 244 ff. 5 The [e] of the infinitive remains closed despite /-r/ because the /r/ is almost never pronounced. When the /r/ is phonetically realized the /e/ is opened to [ε].
