Underlying representation
In some models of
phonology
as well as
morphophonology
in the field of
linguistics
, the
underlying representation
(UR) or
underlying form
(UF) of a
word
or
morpheme
is the abstract form that a word or
morpheme
is postulated to have before any
phonological rules
have applied to it. By contrast, a
surface representation
is the
phonetic representation
of the word or sound. The concept of an underlying representation is central to
generative grammar
.
