A Single-mechanism Dual-route Model of German Verb Inflection

We present a constructivist neural network model of German past participle verb inflection. The model builds its architecture in response to the learning task in a way consistent with neurobiological and psychological evidence. In contrast to most single-route connectionist models with a fixed, homogeneous architecture our model (1) reaches adult performance on an extensive corpus of German ver...

The Effects of Semantic Priming on Novel Verb Inflection

Contemporary theories of language production disagree about the cognitive mechanisms involved in the production of past tense forms of regular and irregular verbs. Two models compete to explain this process: Dual-route and Single-route. The present study tests these models using previously reported methods of production and naturalness rating of the past tense forms of novel verbs. Overall, par...

Time reference through verb inflection in Turkish agrammatic aphasia.

This study tested the production of tensed finite verbs and participles referring to the past and future in agrammatic speakers of Turkish. The agrammatic speakers did not make more time reference errors in tensed verbs than in participles. This is interesting because tense in general cannot therefore be the main problem, since time reference for participles lacking tense inflection is as diffi...

An Efficient Treatment Of Japanese Verb Inflection For Morphological Analysis

Because of its simple appearance, Japanese verb inflection has never been treated seriously. In this paper we reconsider traditional lexical treatments of Japanese verb inflection, and propose a new treatment of verb inflection which uses newlydevised segmenting units. We show that our proposed treatment minimizes the number of lexical entries and avoids useless segmentation. It requires 20 to ...
