The observations which follow are not primarily concerned with the signe zéro in descriptive linguistics, with zero allomorphs within morphemes, or with zero morphemes within paradigms. Nor are they concerned with the problem of dealing with pauses or of setting up segments without body or even duration but still with recognizable attributes, as is the case with junctures. Those are special cases where a state of affairs otherwise ignored, namely the absence of any segment, acquires special importance. In passing we also note the opposite instance: empty morphs disappear from the picture as we pass to higher and relevant levels of grammar, and the same is true in phonology of transitional stretches like glides and releases whose occurrence can be regarded as predictable and which therefore vanish in the act of phonemicizing
