Suppletion: frequency, categories and distribution of stems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suppletion is where the word-forms of the same lexeme have phonologically distinct stems. A study of thirty languages shows it to be surprisingly widespread, suggesting resistance to the pressure of paradigmatic levelling. While a major factor in its preservation appears to be the high frequency of the items that display it, two other factors are in operation, the type of inflectional category involved and the nature of the distribution of stems.

The purpose of this paper is to present a general approach to verbal inflection with special emphasis on suppletion phenomena. The approach is applied to French in this paper, but it extends straightforwardly to other languages.1 The first part of the paper describes an analysis of suppletion in inflectional morphology with two design requirements. First, we attempt to provide an analysis which...
متن کاملParenteral versus enteral potassium suppletion in icu patients: does it make a difference?
Introduction Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance in the ICU, which makes potassiumchloride (KCl) suppletion a frequent necessity. Parenteral KCl suppletion is mostly used in critically ill patients, but it is associated with safety risks, such as overcorrection and line-infections. Enteral KCl suppletion could be a safe and effective alternative in many instances. However, it is not...
متن کاملCanonical Typology, Suppletion, and Possible Words
I specify a typology for the extreme of inflectional morphology, namely suppletion (as in go went). This is an unusual enterprise within typology, and it requires a ‘canonical’ approach. That is, I define the canonical or best instance, through a set of converging criteria, and use this point in theoretical space to locate the various occurring types. Thus the criteria establish the dimensions ...
متن کاملSuppletive verbal morphology in Korean and the mechanism of vocabulary insertion
This paper provides a Distributed Morphology analysis of the paradoxical interaction of the two cases of verbal suppletion in Korean, and argues that the two suppletion types are characterized by two different types of morphological operations. The two roots found with short-form negation and honorification suggest different morphological structures : [[Neg-V] Hon] for al‘know’, molu‘not.know’,...

Recent studies show that cluster analysis methods are one of the most useful techniques of regionalization of watersheds for regional flood frequency analysis. In this study combination of Ward and K-means clustering algorithms is used for regionalization of gauging stations in Sefidrood and Aras watersheds in order to use advantages and decrease influences of disadvantages of two main categori...
