View source for self-segregating morphology

''Self-segregating morphology'' is a [[morphology]] designed such that the morpheme boundaries can be easily determined from the phoneme sequence alone.  Thus, parsing the language is much simplified and a major source of ambiguity is eliminated.  Self-segregating morphology is frequently found in [[engelang]]s.  A pure form of this is not found in natlangs and thus out of place in a [[naturalistic artlang]].  However, some natlangs have strict rules about [[accent]] placement within a word (e.g. Polish), or all vowels at the start of a morpheme may have a glottal stop (e.g. German).

A simple example of a self-segregating morphology is the following: Each morpheme consists of an alternating sequence of consonants and vowels, beginning and ending with a consonant.  Under this rule, morpheme boundaries are marked by consonant clusters.  For example, the wordform "balaklamballan"' can only be segmented as "balak-lam-bal-lan".
