Examples

“Morphological features can only be posited for a substrate language if there is sufficient positive evidence, i.e. an alternation between non-inherited endings. "Morpheme-hood" should only be posited based on language-internal evidence, as positing suffix alternation on the basis of forms in different languages renders both the comparison of the forms and the identification of the suffix circular.”
