3. Compare and contrast sandhi rules and those of generative phonology. The Sandhi rules seem be morphophonemic rules that operate on the sequences of phonemes that make up the pieces of a word that undergoes inflection, explaining shifts in phonemes at such positions -- this could be the result of assimilation or fusion. Generative phonology discounts the existance of a phonemic level of grammar, and thus eliminates the entire transitional area of morphophonemics, subsuming the phonemic alternations into phonology. This means that, while the morphophonemic Sandhi rules apply case-by-case, generative phonology must come up with rules that apply across all cases, relegating any exceptions to morphology as irregularities.
