In current corpuslinguistic investigations, especially the collection of linguistic data and the frequency of linguistic phenomena (i.e. in the "linguistic matter") is in the center of interest of morphological discussions. This paper argues in favor of taking also morphological "antimatter" in account, i.e. surveying the structure of words containing morphological restrictions which cannot be proven systematically. With recourse to Popper's falsificationism and starting with prominent restrictions in the morphology of German, the article discusses theoretical consequences and chances for morphological theory with special emphasis on morphological change, i.e. when antimatter becomes matter and vice versa.
