Explaining phonotactics using NAD

However, phonology alone does not fully account for clusters. Inflection, word-formation and compounding contribute to the creation of consonant clusters to an extent relative to a morphological type of a language. Therefore, a phonotactic grammar operates on basic, non-derived, lexical forms, while morphonotactics takes care of the remaining, morphologically complex, forms. Interaction between phonotactics and morphonotactics provides a richer insight into the understanding of cluster complexity.
