Abstract

The authors analyze some terminological problems, contradictions and inconsistencies that occur in basic linguistic manuals, grammars and textbooks. The authors focus especially on two sound changes: movable a and movable e (the correct English term is vowel-zero alternation). These problems are illustrated by examples from textbooks and manuals and the authors offer their own suggestions.

Keywords

vowel-zero alternation; movable a; movable e
