Inflection and Movement in Old English
Rich verbal inflection has been argued (a) to license pro-drop (e.g. Safir 1985); (b) to be connected to overt Verb-second (Platzack & Holmberg 1989; van Gelderen 1993; Roberts 1996); and (c) to activate the AGR(eement) and T(ense) positions (Bobaljik & Jonas 1996). The connections in (b) and (c) follow if one assumes that the relationship between morphology and syntax is a direct one: elements...
متن کاملRemarks 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 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 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...
