Talk:Metaplasm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Clarification
Please elaborate on the differences between prosthesis, epithesis and apragoge; and between clipping, elision, apocope and syncope. -Pgan002 07:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Phonology vs orthography
The article is self-contradictory: it classifies itself as a phonology article, but defines metaplasm as an orthographic phenomenon! The articles about each type of metaplasm are inconsistent: some talk about phonology, others orthography. -Pgan002 07:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contraction
Does contraction really involve both addition and deletion as the article states? -Pgan002 07:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
