The image presents a comparative diagram featuring two vertical flowcharts side-by-side against a white background. The text is black, and the process steps are enclosed in light purple rectangular boxes with rounded corners connected by downward-pointing arrows.

**Left Column: Split-Morphology Hypothesis**

At the top, under the heading "Split-Morphology Hypothesis," is the phrase "John redirected traffic." A line connects this to a sequence of processing steps:

1.  **First Box:** Labeled "Morphological Processing (Derivation)." Inside, it reads "re + direct."
2.  **Second Box:** Connected by an arrow below the first. Labeled "Syntactic Processing." Inside, it reads "Orders Words; Assigns 3SG.PAST to V."
3.  **Third Box:** Connected by an arrow below the second. Labeled "Morphological Processing (Inflection)." Inside, it reads "redirect + d."
4.  **Fourth Box:** Connected by an arrow below the third. Labeled "Phonological Processing." Inside, it contains a linguistic rule: "/d/ -> [rd] / [+cor]_".

At the very bottom of this column is the final phonetic transcription: "[rɪdəˈrɛktɪd]."

**Right Column: Single Component Hypothesis**

To the right, under the heading "Single Component Hypothesis," is the same starting phrase: "John redirected traffic." A line connects this to a different sequence of processing steps:

1.  **First Box:** Labeled "Morphological Processing." Inside, it reads "re + direct + d."
2.  **Second Box:** Connected by an arrow below the first. Labeled "Syntactic Processing." Inside, it reads "Orders Words."
3.  **Third Box:** Connected by an arrow below the second. Labeled "Phonological Processing." Inside, it contains the same linguistic rule as the left column: "/d/ -> [rd] / [+cor]_".

At the very bottom of this column is the final phonetic transcription: "[rɪdəˈrɛktɪd]."
