Fig. 1 — a Serbo-Croatian data (simplified). This language’s morphology is illustrated for masculine and feminine forms. The data motivate a morphological rule which forms the feminine form by appending /a/. b illustrates a counterexample to this analysis: the masculine, feminine forms of clear are /yasan/, /yasna/. These pronunciations are explained by Serbo-Croatian phonology: the sound /a/ is inserted between pairs of consonants at the end of words, notated $\emptyset \to$ a / C_C#. This rule requires that the true stem for /yasan/, /yasna/ is /yasn/. c shows further stems inferred for this data. These stems are stored in the lexicon.
