Russian Genitive Plurals are Impostors
(1) a. Inflectional paradigms aspire to “avoid homophony”. The Russian nominative singular and genitive plural endings reflect a transderivational attempt to minimize homophony across inflectional endings. b. Inflectional paradigms require transderivational reference: one cannot compute the Russian genitive plural without knowing what the nominative singular ending is. c. Markedness-based neutr...

The rule versus rote distinction is one of the most debated issues in recent psycholinguistics. Dual route accounts hold that words can either be stored whole in the mental lexicon or computationally derived by simple combinatorial rules such as stem+affix. Within this framework, response latencies in lexical decision tasks have been applied to point out the difference between rote memorization...
