Automatinės garsų kaitos lietuvių kalbos šaknyse
The Automatic Changes of Phonemes in the Lithauanian Roots

Summary/Abstract: In inflected languages (such as Lithuanian) morphemes do not have a constant structure: the same morpheme may have a different structure of phonemes or different prosodic elements, for example, the word pairs rasti ′to find′ – rado ′(he)found′, čirškia ′(he) chirps′ – čirškė ′(he) chirped′, pulti ′to attack′ – puola ′(he) attacks′, gauti ′to get′ – gavo ′(he) got′, žaidė ′(he) played′ – žaislas ′a toy′ have the same root even if their formal structure differs. It’s not always easy to recognize, wich words have the same root, where the boundary between the different morphemes is and how to write some words or forms.
