<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''boundary''' is a formal device used in Chomsky & Halle (1968) to express a distinction between two types of [[affix]]es. <br />
<br />
===Examples===<br />
''(i) prod&uacutective product&iacutevity prod&uacutectiveness<br />
op[ei]que op[æ]city op[ei]queness''<br />
<br />
The claim is that ''-ity'' is a morpheme-boundary or formative-boundary [[affix]] (i.e. ''+ity''), and ''-ness'' a word-boundary [[affix]] (i.e. ''#ness''). <br />
<br />
===Comment===<br />
The assumption that [[affix]]es are associated with different boundaries, viz. + ([[morpheme]] boundary) and # ([[word]] boundary) accounts for the fact that the English [[suffix]]es ''-ity'' and ''-ness'' behave differently with respect to a number of phonological rules, as shown in (i).<br />
