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)
