Abstract

This study is on linguistics, that is, morphology. It aims to describe the morphemes and allomorphs of the Bidayuh-Somu Language. The study is descriptive, that is, documentary analysis. The data of this study is secondary, a-ready-to-use data, taken from a doctoral dissertation. It is an example sorted based on morphemes and allomorphs of the language. Since the language is indigenous and not in written form, the data is phonemic and morphemic transcription. As a limitation, the data is only morphemes with allomorphs. The sole morpheme with zero allomorphs is not included in this study. As an exemplification, this study describes the morphemes that are nominal and verbal. They are prefix {puN-} and circumfix {niN-ŋeh}. The allomorph of the morpheme for this current study is the element of nasalization consisting of the phoneme /m-/, /n-/, /ŋ-/, and /ɲ-/, and alternants. The allomorphs of this language are free and phonologically conditionedю
