- Definition : a variant of a morpheme.
- Examples : un- in- il- im- and ir- are all variants of the negative adjective prefix and therefore allomorphs. Similarly long and leng-, strong and streng- (as in length, strength), and the noun plural endins -s, es, and -en.
- Allomorphs are not interchangeable - ie we cant say *unpossible, *longth or *busen.
