&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the morphology, a '''binary Branching Constraint''' is a constraint on concatenative [[word formation]] which says that in the process of [[word formation]] only two morphemes can be concatenated at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the syntax, a a '''binary Branching Constraint''' is a constraint proposed in Kayne (1984) which rules out syntactic structures in which a phrase contains more than two immediate constituents (i.e. no node in a tree structure may have more than two branches).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Comment===&lt;br /&gt;
In the first area, the compound ''a,i,c'' either has the structure [[[a] [b]] [c]], or the structure [[a] [[b] [c]]], but not the ternary structure [[a] [b] [c]]. [[Circumfix]]es are problematic with respect to this constraint.&lt;br /&gt;
