1953C. E. Bazell Linguistic Form i. 9 In the modern school of Geneva,..there is a tendency to use the otherwise unknown term moneme for the American morph. 1960H. Marchand Categories Present-Day Eng. Word-Formation x. 367 The result of blending is, indeed, always a moneme, i.e. an unanalysable, simple word, not a motivated syntagma. 1960A. Martinet in Word XVI. 4 Minimal meaningful units..have sometimes been called ‘morphemes’... I will rather use..moneme, which has been used with that meaning by some linguists of the Geneva school. 1968J. W. F. Mulder Sets & Relations in Phonology i. 47 The phonological features..do not represent moneme expressions, i.e. they are..not distinctive on the grammatical level. 1970English Studies LI. 446 It is note-worthy that Anglian ald often becomes old (in o-areas) in ME nicknames like Oldman but not in Christian names like Aldith, Aldred etc. which are somewhat fossilized and no longer associated with the moneme. 1970G. C. Lepschy Survey of Structural Linguistics vi. 106 A linguistic utterance undergoes a first articulation into monemes, which are the elementary grammatical units corresponding to what American linguists call morphemes. |
