It is argued that French homophony phenomena are based on non-affixal derivational morphology (conversion).

The Missing Term between Polyphony and Homophony
Bulletin of the American Musicological Society, 1948"THE POLYPHONIC PERIOD" is a term frequently applied to the age of music ending with the year I6oo. Similarly, the musical style most prevalent between 1750 and i9o0 is often described as "homophonic," since it consists of a single melodic line supported by a harmonic background.

Anti-homophony and rhizotony in the Spanish preterite
Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone LinguisticsAbstractSpeakers tend to avoid homophony that is problematic. While Spanish admits some homophony of 1SG and 3SG forms in three arrhizotonic tenses/moods (imperfect, past subjunctive, conditional), in two of the three rhizotonic tenses/moods (present indicative and preterite), the 1SG and 3SG contrast systematically.
