Remarks on Nominal Inflection in German
Any theory of nominal inflection has to fulfil two tasks for a given language. First, the inventory of inflection markers has to be determined; and second, the syntactic distribution of these markers has to be accounted for. Typically, the latter task is handled within the syntactic component of a grammar, whereas the former task is addressed in a morphological (or lexical) component that is pr...
متن کاملNumber and Individuation: Nominal Semantics in Dagaare
Languages dispose of a variety of means for classifying and counting different types of objects present in the world. An instance is the much discussed mass-count distinction. In English, count nouns (dog, chair) allow plural marking and modification by cardinal quantifiers (two) and by determiners implicating plurality (several); mass terms (water, sand) do not permit plural marking, nor the q...
متن کاملThe Production of Nominal and Verbal Inflection in an Agglutinative Language: Evidence from Hungarian
The contrast between regular and irregular inflectional morphology has been useful in investigating the functional and neural architecture of language. However, most studies have examined the regular/irregular distinction in non-agglutinative Indo-European languages (primarily English) with relatively simple morphology. Additionally, the majority of research has focused on verbal rather than no...
متن کاملTree-like Curves and Their Number of Inflection Points
In this short note we give a criterion when a planar tree-like curve, i.e. a generic curve in R 2 each double point of which cuts it into two disjoint parts, can be send by a diffeomorphism of R 2 onto a curve with no inflection points. We also present some upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of inflection points on such curves unremovable by diffeomorphisms of R 2. §1. Introduction T...
متن کاملThe nature of regularity and irregularity: evidence from Hebrew nominal inflection.
Most evidence for the role of regular inflection as a default operation comes from languages that confound the morphological properties of regular and irregular forms with their phonological characteristics. For instance, regular plurals tend to faithfully preserve the base's phonology (e.g., rat-rats), whereas irregular nouns tend to alter it (e.g., mouse-mice). The distinction between regular...
