Universals in Morphological Representation: Evidence from Italian.
Orsolini, Margherita; Marslen-Wilson, William
Language and Cognitive Processes, v12 n1 p1-47 Feb 1997
Examines the dual mechanism hypothesis, which argues that the apparent contrast, in English inflectional morphology, between a rule-based default procedure, generating regular past-tense forms, and listed irregular forms stored in an associative net, reflects universal constraints on the properties of possible morphological systems. The study examines whether these constraints hold for Italian past-tense inflection. (37 references) (Author/CK)
