Why Not Waterfalls [ˈwɔːtəfɔːlz]

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

The question "Why not waterfalls?", which is a phrase, may mean that it is essential for us to talk about the plural noun waterfalls, which is pronounced ['wɔːtəfɔːlz] in British English. What does a waterfall mean?  It is "a place where a stream or river falls from a high place, for example over a cliff or rock", defined by the online Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Morphologically, the plural noun waterfalls is a complex word because it consists of three morphemes, namely water, fall and -s. This plural noun is also a compound word, which can be analyzed as water + fall and waterfall + -s. Often, the shorter word falls is used instead of the complete, longer version waterfalls. In the following, we have a little bit info about waterfalls in Canada and the US, called Niagara Falls and another one in Central Java, Indonesia, which is called Tawangmangu Waterfall.
