phonemic merger
noun phonemic mergers
- The phenomenon in which two different phonemes merge and become replaced by a single phoneme. The first sign of a phonemic merger is that two signs, which hitherto have been kept carefully apart, become used wrongly, e.g. das is written for MHG dar, and aller for MHG alles (Schulze 1967: 38f.).
