WHAT DOES MORPHOPHONEME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Morphophonology

Morphophonology is a branch of linguistics which studies the interaction between morphological and phonological or phonetic processes. Its chief focus is the sound changes that take place in morphemes when they combine to form words. Morphophonological analysis often involves an attempt to give a series of formal rules that successfully predict the regular sound changes occurring in the morphemes of a given language. Such a series of rules converts a theoretical underlying representation into a surface form that is actually heard. The units of which the underlying representations of morphemes are composed are sometimes called morphophonemes. The surface form produced by the morphophonological rules may consist of phonemes, or else the morphophonological analysis may bypass the phoneme stage and produce the phones itself.

Definition of morphophoneme in the English dictionary
