This study examines the asymmetrical realization of features and segments in words consisting of a base plus a suffix. After observing cases of feature changes and segmental truncation in English phonological processes, we argue that there exists a tendency where feature change generally applies to suffixes (inflectional and derivational), while segmental deletion tends to occur in bases or stems. The asymmetrical implementations of features and segments in English do not follow the universal constraint ranking proposed by McCarthy and Prince, who claim that FaithRoot dominates FaithAffix with some conditions in their application. The universal ranking can provide a tool for analyzing various phonological processes. However, one should reconsider the ranking from different perspectives if it applies to uneven application of featural and segmental realizations. Thus, we claim that the processes related to feature changes of voicing assimilation and dissimilation target features in the suffixes. On the other hand, segmental deletion cases generally target the base segments, such as r-dissimilation, vowel hiatus, and base truncation. We decompose Identity and Max constraints into specific morphological units such as base, derivational, and inflectional morphemes with specified rankings for English.
