Abstract
The continuous spread and passion
for teaching and learning English have brought about various innovations. Apart
from the development of automatic applications to teach and learn it, people
from different languages and backgrounds utilize social networking sites such
as Facebook, YouTube and TikTok to that effect. These platforms continue to
thrive and gain prominence but have receivedlittle regard from scholars. The
thrust of this paper is to examine the morphophonological features of some
foreign and indigenous Online English Language Learning Platforms on Facebook
with the sole aim of identifying current foreign and indigenous online
English language learning platforms in some social media outlets and analyse
their morphophonological features. The study identified a total of 104 foreign
and indigenous platforms on Facebookfrom which 50 lessons were sampled across
10 platforms. The videos were transcribed and the morphophonological features
such as assimilation, elision, epenthesis and stress shift were identified from
the spoken corpora using quantitative analysis. The findings reveal that
elision has the highest number of occurrences with a total frequency of 166 and
80 for foreign and indigenous platforms respectively. This was followed by
assimilation with the frequency of 107 and 36. The implication is that
lessons should not be too short if learners are to receive comprehensive
presentations and adequate manifestation of morphophonological elements for the
development of speaking skill. Therefore, there is a need to establish
standards and guidelines, particularly for indigenous presenters, in order to
enhance their competitiveness with foreign platforms.

1.0 Introduction
English is the most predominantly
taught language globally and it is used as a medium of instruction many
countries. This global acceptability has increased the continuous spread,
needand passion for its teaching and learning. However, one of the factors for
its dominance is the internet. The emergence of the internet in America further
solidified English as the language of the internet. This has contributed to
English becoming one of the most powerful languages. Bayrakci and Aslan (2014)
state that,with the development of Web 2.0, the internet has the property of
interactivity, which is enabled by social networking. Interactivity is one of
the characteristics of an ideal language learning environment (Lomicka&
Lord, 2009).
In fact, the internet which is part
of technological advancement, has given rise to innovations in teaching and
learning English language. Over the past two decades, the Internet and the
‘new media’ (Maduakor&Nkechor, 2019) has opened up new avenues for teaching
and learning via social media platforms like Facebook, WeChat, Instagram,
Twitter (X), Snapchat, and WhatsApp (Al-Kadi & Ahmed, 2018).
Online English Language Learning
Platforms (OELLPs), emanated from the integrative Computer Assisted Language
Learning (CALL) which was popular in the 1990s. Warschauer (2004) predicted
that the future and growth of CALL rely heavily on the technological changes
which creates new social context that shapes how learning takes place. The
effectiveness of CALL especially in the 21st century has been increasing
through social media and social networking sites, which offer participation and
interactivity at a mass audience (Kaplan &Henlein, 2010). The emergence of
social networking platforms has further transformed CALL by providing learners
with opportunities to engage in real-time communication, collaborative learning
and content sharing. The platforms are designed according to a comprehensive
analysis of students’ interest, knowledge, structure and preferences, as well
as level and ability of the audience.
In the context of this study,
Online English Language Learning Platforms (OELLPs) refers to videos presented
by various individuals presented on the social networking sites with the aim of
teaching aspects of the English language. A preliminary survey of these OELLPs
has shown that the instructors are from various regions of the world including
Nigeria. Some of them are native speakers of English language with others from
Asia and Africa. In the case of Nigeria, OELLPs instructors appeared to be a
recent innovation. The design and implementation ofinstructional contents are
based on individual approaches rather than formal instruction, without
reference to any established standard. However, Duolingo and Rosetta Stone are
platforms presented as downloadable applications that offer interactive
exercises, personalized instruction and real-time feedback, enhancing the
learning experience. They teach English communication in context and solicit
user’s information, choice and preferences, in order to present the right content
for learning. Furthermore, these formal platforms are programmed in such a way
that they follow and evaluate learner’s progress.
However, with the emergence of
Covid-19, online platforms were generally embraced as new opportunities for
teaching and learning. Online English language teaching and learning was
generally accepted as a new way of acquiring language skills. Hence, numerous
instructors are found teaching selected aspects of the language especially on
Facebook. These social media sites are mostly accessed through mobile phones
which promotes its usage, especially among youths (Ebele, 2018).
This paper explores the
morphophonological features of foreign and indigenous OELLPs. It attempts to
examine the selected platforms in order to identify the morphophonological
features therein and analyse them. It should be noted that there are numerous OELLPs
but the study is delimited to those that are found on Facebook by foreign
and indigenous instructors. Due to the fact that some of these instructors
are not truly trained, learners may acquire incorrect forms and poor speaking
habits. This may lead to fossilisation and reduced
intelligibility. Indigenous platforms refer to those that are created by Nigerians
and foreign are those platforms created by non-Nigerians. The variables in
this paper are assimilation, elision, epenthesis and stress shift.
1.1 Problem Statement
The advent of technology has
revolutionised the way people learn, including language learning. OELLPs have
gained immense popularity in recent years, offering flexibility, accessibility
and personalised learning experiences. However, despite their growing presence,
there is need for a comprehensive study to explore their linguistic variables
which is tightly connected to speech production. Morphophonology, the study of
sound and structure patterns in language, is crucial for effective
communication. OELLPs have the potential to transform the way learners acquire
language skills, but the impact remains unexplored. The proliferation of OELLPs
raises questions about their quality, effectiveness and suitability for
different learners, thus necessitating their study.
Due to the advancement of
technology in all fields of study, Crystal (2010)anticipated the study of such
of the branches of linguistics as internet morphology, internet phonology and
internet syntax. The scholar also predicted the emergence of applied internet
linguistics. It is in this regard that OELLPs gradually emerged and continue to
thrive. Hence, a study morphophonological features of OELLPs as an area of
applied internet linguistics is worthwhile.
2.0 Literature Review
In Linguistics, ‘Morphophonology’
and ‘Morphophonemics’ are used interchangeably. Haspelmath and
Sims (2013), define morphophonology as the study of the phonological
structure of morphemes or the permitted combinations of phonemes within
morphemes in any given language. Additionally, O’Grady (1996) observes some
necessary elements of these changes in studying morphophonological elements.
These changes include: assimilation, dissimilation, elision, epenthesis, simple
consonant and vowel change, synthesis, change of syllabic vowel or diphthong,
gradation, and suppletion. For instance, elision occurs when one or more
phonemes that are present in the normal allomorph of a morpheme are missing or
modified in another allomorph. The addition of a phoneme is a morphophonemic
change that happens when one of two allomorphs of a morpheme lacks one or more
phonemes which are present in the other. This study therefore, focuses on
identification of morphophonological features of foreign and indigenous OELLPs.
The morphophonological features of online contents, unlike those of
conventional face-to-face interaction have not been given wider attention by
researchers. Hence, there is need for a more comprehensive identification and
analysis of the Linguistics features of morphophonology of online English
instructors.
Today, a vast number of OELLPs is
all over the internet. They are easily found and without any login especially
by the first-time user. The enormous and constantly expanding body of
knowledge especially of teaching English language is now accessible
online. Many people see this as an opportunity for learning. Moreover, it
is an avenue where people particularly students can learn from native speakers
and other experts in the field. They can equally acquire other skills such as
making presentations, self-confidence and communication.
2.1 Morphology and Phonology
Interface
The interface between Phonology and
Morphology can be understood by explaining the Morphological and phonological
processes that are firmly interrelated especially in spoken production. During
processing, morphological processes must combine the phonological content of
individual morphemes to produce a phonological representation that is suitable
for driving further phonological processing. Golberg, Cholin, Miozzo and
Rapp (2013) stressed that, in spoken production, there is an intimate
connection between morphological and phonological processing. Moreover, the
output of morphological operations serves as the input to phonological
processes. When morphological processes combine morphemes to form
multimorphemic words, the constituent sounds must also be combined in
conformity with phonological representation suitable for driving speech.
Largely, morpheme assembly causes changes in a word’s phonological
acceptability, a matter which is the concern of phonology.
2.2 Concept of Morphophonology
Morphophonology ormorphophonemics,
refers to the variation in the structure of morphemes due to the influence of
phonetic factors. Parera (1982) observes that a change of morpheme occurs based
on the sounds that surround it which relates to the correlation between
morphemes and phonemes. It is also called morphophonemic changes. Ramlan (1987)
further mentions that morphophonology refers to the changes of phoneme as a
result of merging one morpheme and another.
Moreover, Morphophonology studies
the variations or changes in the phonemic structure of allomorphs of two or
more morphemes which combine to form a new derivational as well as inflectional
word forms. In other words, morphophonology is the study of the phonemic
representation of morphemes in different environments. In noticing the phonemic
change in the structure of allomorphs of the morphemes that combine into a new
word, one allomorph is considered the normal form while the other is the
variation or a change from the normal (Nurhayati, 2011).
Furthermore, Morphophonology is the
study of phonological structure of morphemes or permitted combinations of
phonemes within morphemes in any given language (Haspelmath& Sims, 2013).
Morphemes often have different phonological shapes depending on the
environment. Morphological and phonological processes are tightly interrelated
in spoken production.
Firstly, as explained by Golberg et
al (2013), the reason for this intimate relation in spoken production is that
the output of morphological operations serves as the input to phonological
processes. When morphological processes combine lexical representations
(morphemes) to form a multimorphemic word, the constituent sounds must also be
combined in such a way that the resulting phonological representation is
suitable for driving spoken production. For example, once the morphemes cat and
–s have been selected, the phoneme sequences /kæt/ and /s/ must be combined
into /kæts/ in order to allow subsequent phonological processing to take place.
This assembly process, likely involves updating segmental position information
to reflect the newly constructed multimorphemic environment (e.g., the /k/ in cloth is
no longer in word-initial position when it appears as part of the
compound tablecloth). Whatever specific operations this process may
entail, the integration of the phonological content of a word’s morphemes is
crucial to the ability of downstream processes to operate over the word.
Secondly, the combination of
morphemes frequently results in the creation of new phonological environments
that vary in how well they conform to universal and language-specific
phonological constraints. In many cases, the phonological environment created
by combining morphemes must be modified by the phonology in order to satisfy a
language’s phonological constraints. For example, affixation in English
frequently requires the phonological content of morphemes to be resyllabified
in order to create optimal syllables (find + ing = [faɪn.dɪŋ]). Far more
dramatic modifications also abound—for example, in languages containing vowel
harmony rules, root and affix vowels are modified so that they agree in
particular features.
2.4 Morphophonological Processes
Assimilation is a
morphophonological change occurring when neighboring morphemes are articulated
similarly to each other (Sukarsono, 2009). Assimilation is a common explanation
of consonant change in English. Kelly, (2000) posits that assimilation describes
how sounds modify each other when they meet, usually across word boundaries and
also within words. Assimilation results when a sound becoming more like
another nearby sound in terms of one or more of its phonetic characteristics.
It occurs when two phonemes come in sequence and some aspects of one phoneme
are taken by the other. Assimilation can be voicing and nasal.
Elision is the process that removes
a segment from certain phonetic contexts. In English, for instance, schwa [ǝ]is
often deleted when the next vowel in the word is stressed, such as the word‘suppose’
[sphǝuz] the first vowel sound ‘u’ realized as schwa [ǝ] is deleted.
Again, /d/ is omitted in the articulation of the word friendship [frenshɪp]. In
consonant clusters, especially in coda position, /t/ is commonly affected in
this process. This is found in words like aspects and the
phrase He must be realised as [aspeks] and [himǝsbɪ]
respectively (Yule, 2010).
Epenthesis is the process of
inserting a syllabic or a non-syllabic segment within an existing string of
segments. For instance, in careful speech, the words ‘warmth’ and ‘something’
are pronounced as [wᴐ:mθ] and [sʌmθɪŋ]. It is common in casual speech for
speakers to insert [p] between ‘m’ and ‘th’ and pronounce the words as [wo:mpθ]
and [sʌmpθɪŋ].
Stress is a suprasegmental feature
of speech. It applies not to individual vowels and consonants, but to a whole
syllable. Stress refers to the relative prominence or emphasis on certain
syllables in a word. According to Denham and Lobeck (2013), stress is usually
produced by an increase in articulatory force, by an increase in the airflow,
and sometimes by increased muscular tension in the articulators. The result of
this are higher pitch, longer duration and greater intensity in stressed
syllable than in unstressed syllable.
Mompean (2014) states that stress
shift is first discussed within Classical Generative Phonology (Chomsky &
Halle, 1968) and it has also been the focus of more recent treatments in
Optimality Theory (Cho, 2002). Stress shift has also been dealt with within
Metrical Phonology (Giegerich, 1985; Gussenhoven, 1991; Hayes, 1984; Nespor,
1990). This body of work suggests that the motivation for stress shift is to be
found in rhythm.
2.5 Online English Language
Learning Platforms
Different terminologies have been
used for online learning, which makes it difficult to develop a generic
definition. However, Ally (2011) explains that terms commonly used for online
learning include e-learning, Internet learning, distributed learning, networked
learning, tele-learning, virtual learning, computer-assisted learning,
web-based learning, and distance learning. All of these terms imply that the
learner is at a distance from the tutor or instructor, that the learner uses
some form of technology (usually a computer) to access the learning materials;
that the learner uses technology to interact with the tutor or instructor and
with other learners; and that some form of support is provided to learners.
Again, online learning refers to
the use of the Internet to access learning materials; to interact with the
content, instructor, and other learners; and to obtain support during the
learning process, in order to acquire knowledge, to construct personal meaning,
and to grow from the learning experience (Ally, 2011). For learners, online
learning knows no time zones, and neitherlocation nor distance is an issue. In
asynchronous online learning, students can access the online materials anytime,
while synchronous online learning allows for real-time interaction between
students and instructors. Learners can use the Internet to access up-to-date
and relevant learning materials, and can communicate with experts in the field
which they are studying (Ally 2011). Social media platforms provide
opportunities for learning in an informal way (Baba, 2016).
3.1 Methodology
The research design adopted for
this study was a quantitative research design which entails collecting
numerical data on the number of OELLPs on Facebook and the number of the
identified morphophonological features. The population of this study is vast and
fluctuating. This is because new English language learning platforms emerge on
daily basis as a result of the social media influence and continuous need to
learn the language. Therefore, the accessible population was based on the
preliminary survey conducted by the researcher through online survey of
Facebook. Thus, 104 English learning platforms were identified teaching
different language aspects of English language (list attached in appendix A).
The identified platforms are categorized into indigenous, foreign, active or
inactive, free or commercialized. In the context of this research, indigenous
platforms refer to those that are developed and presented by Nigerians while
foreign platforms refer to those developed by other non-Nigerians. Moreover, active
platforms in this context are those having a series of consecutive
presentations while inactive ones refer to those that have very few and
irregular presentations.
Since the interest of the research
is not on the lesson’s subject matter, the research population comprises all
English language learning platforms on Facebook. The justification for the
selection of Facebook
over
other social networking sites such as YouTube, Instagram, and X (Twitter) is
due to its wide coverage, easy accessibility, low data cost-effective and
largest number of users (Statistica, 2024).

From
the survey conducted, 104 Online English Language Learning Platforms on
Facebook were identified (see Appendix A). Looking at the proportion, there
were 82 foreign and 22 indigenous platforms. This study sampled 50 lessons in
both foreign and indigenous platforms as shown in table 4.1 below:

Thetable
4.1 above presents the distribution of 50 lessons in 10 platforms. The foreign
platforms comprise 30 lessons by six presenters. The duration of each lesson
differs, but generally, ranges from 1 to 10 minutes. However, for the
indigenous platforms, 20 lessons by four presenters were covered. In the case
of indigenous platforms, the duration of each lesson ranges from 1 to 6 minutes.
The
morphophonological features of foreign and indigenous OELLPs are identified and
presented in table 4.2 and 4 .3 below:
Table
4.2: Occurrence of Morphophonolgical Features in Foreign Online English
Language Learning Platforms
The
above table 4.2 shows the frequency of occurrence of the morphophonolgical
features identified from 30 lessons by the presenters of six foreign platforms.
For instance, in the first platform, English with Lucy, the frequency of
occurrence of assimilation sub-variable as shown in the table is 45 (%). it was
identified 25 times in Tim’s BBC learning English, 2 times in Your English
Upgrade, 9 times in English Evolution, 15 times in Rebecca’s English Hub and 11
times in BBC Learning English with Georgie. For elision, 69 times in English
with Lucy, 12 times in Tim’s BBC Learning English, 3 times in Your English
Upgrade, 29 times in English Evolution, 17 times in Rebecca’s English Hub and
36 times in BBC Learning English with Georgie. Epenthesis occurred 11 times 1
time in Tim’s BBC Learning English, none in Your English Upgrade, 7 times in
English Evolution, none in Rebecca’s English Hub and 8 times in BBC Learning
English with Georgie. Stress shift was only identified once in Your English
Upgrade.
Though
all the platforms are foreign, English with Lucy is having the highest
frequency of assimilation and your English upgrade is having the least
frequency. This implied that assimilation in spoken corpora comes naturally in
speech as stated by Roach, (2010).
Again,
English with Lucy has the highest Frequency of elision and epenthesis with Your
English Upgrade having the least frequency in elision and zero frequency of
occurrence in Your English upgrade and Rebecca’s English Hub.

The above table 4.3 shows the frequency of
occurrence of the morphophonolgical features identified from 20 lessons by the
presenters of four indigenous platforms. For instance, in the first platform,
by Sani Ahmad Bamalli, the frequency of occurrence of assimilation sub-variable
as shown in table, is 14 (%). It was identified 5 times in Mr. Moh’s English
class, 10 times in Speak right with Edikan Francis Out, 7 times
in #learnwithprecious. For elision, 35 times in Sani Ahmad Bamalli, 24 by
Mr. Moh’s English class, 6 times by Speak right, 15 times by
#learnwithprecious. Epenthesis occurred 4 times in Sani Ahmad Bamalli, 4 times
by Mr Moh’s English Class, 3 times in Speak right and none in
#learnwithprecious.
Though
all the platforms are foreign, English with Lucy is having the highest
frequency of assimilation and your English upgrade is having the least
frequency. This implied that assimilation in spoken corpora comes naturally in
speech as stated by Roach, (2010).
Again,
English with Lucy has the highest Frequency of elision and epenthesis with Your
English Upgrade having the least frequency in elision and zero frequency of
occurrence in Your English upgrade and Rebecca’s English Hub.
The
finding of this study impliesthat online lessons should not be too short for a
comprehensive presentations and adequate manifestation of morphophonological
elements for the development of the speakingskill. This finding contradicts
David Crystal’s in an online interview on the future of English, held on
11/5/2025 with PhD students (https//youtube/64HR797Lsc?si=6Fx0_K8as2jYassK), in
which he said that everybody is going online and presentations should be short
to give the viewers and listeners the opportunity to access them. It appears
that lessons with short duration of presentation seem to follow the pattern of
advertisements. Therefore, OELLPs presenters should be mindful of duration in
order to provide adequate information for learners.
5.1
Conclusion
The
findings of this study have significant implications for the design,
implementation and evaluation of Online English Language Learning Platforms
particularly regarding the treatment of morphophonological features. By
identifying these features across both foreign and indigenous platforms, this
study contributes to the growing field of digital language pedagogy. It also
has practical implications for content developers and instructional designers,
suggesting the need for greater emphasis on natural spoken features to improve
learners’ pronunciation and listening skills.
