Children's judgments of regular and irregular novel past-tense forms: new data on the English past-tense debate.
Is language governed by formal rules or by analogy to stored exemplars? The acquisition of the English past tense has long played a central role in this debate. In the present study, children rated the acceptability of a regular and an irregular past-tense form of each of 40 novel verbs (e.g., fleeped, flept) using a 5-point scale. The novel verbs were chosen to vary continuously along the orth...
متن کاملActivating Verb Semantics from the Regular and Irregular Past Tense
Theoretical accounts of the processing of inflectional morphology make implicit, untested assumptions about the activation of verb semantics from inflected verbs. This research used semantic priming to investigate the extent to which regular and irregular past tense forms activate verb semantics, in comparison to the verb stem. The results show that past tense forms activate verb semantics to t...
متن کاملAn ERP study of regular and irregular English past tense inflection.
Compositionality is a critical and universal characteristic of human language. It is found at numerous levels, including the combination of morphemes into words and of words into phrases and sentences. These compositional patterns can generally be characterized by rules. For example, the past tense of most English verbs ("regulars") is formed by adding an -ed suffix. However, many complex lingu...
متن کاملLesions impairing regular versus irregular past tense production☆
We investigated selective impairments in the production of regular and irregular past tense by examining language performance and lesion sites in a sample of twelve stroke patients. A disadvantage in regular past tense production was observed in six patients when phonological complexity was greater for regular than irregular verbs, and in three patients when phonological complexity was closely ...
متن کاملGraded Brain Responses to Regular and Irregular Inflection 1 Running Head: GRADED BRAIN RESPONSES TO REGULAR AND IRREGULAR INFLECTION Continuous Processing of Linguistic Categories: Behavioral and Electrophysiological Responses to Regular and Irregular Verb Inflection in German
This study examined whether German regular and irregular verb inflection is processed in continuous or categorical ways. Two visual priming experiments contrasted regular (regular stem, regular suffix) with two types of irregular participle formation (regular/irregular stem, irregular suffix). We measured reaction times (RT; Experiment 1) and event-related potentials (ERPs; Experiment 2) and ma...
