Abstract
Since the present Restatements1, of which this one is concerned with Voegelin’s Delaware2, are limited to the morphologies of the languages under consideration, we assume that we have given all the requisite utterances in phonemic representation. Each utterance is for us a sequence (or combination) of phonemes. Within each utterance we now separate off small sequences of phonemes one from the other. We may say that between each such small sequence and its neighbors a morpheme boundary is placed; and we may call the sequence which lies between two such boundaries a morphemic segment. The placing of the morpheme boundaries is thus an operation carried out on the phonemes of an utterance.
