This article, which clarifies certain complexities and ambiguities govern- ing morphological irregularities in English, falls into two main parts. The first part deals with allomorph classification, an arguementation and acomp- act presentation of various linguists, views on the behaviour of irregular forms. The second part shows the capability of syntax to identify irregular forms and reveal the function of these forms in utterances. A summary at the end of the second part relates that syntax is, perhaps, a good criterion of solving the problem of irregularity in English morphology in that it assigns a morphosyntactic property to each irregular form.
