The –ed allomorphs of Malay speakers of English and linguistic knowledge types

Malay is a language from the Austronesian family and unlike the Indo-European-originated English; it generally does not have inflections as temporal markers. Problems are observed in the production of –ed allomorphs – [d], [t], [ɪd] or [ed] – they are pronounced differently from the Standard English...
