  Inflection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conjugation: verb inflectional paradigm (often involving number, person, tense, or mood).
Inflection is the process of adding inflectional morphemes (atomic meaning units) to a word, which may indicate grammatical information (e.g., case, number, person, gender or word class, mood, tense, or aspect).
Inflection is sometimes confused with synthesis in languages.

 Inflectional Paradigms
For part of the exercise of placing the inflections of a given noun properly within their paradigm is the identification of the grammatical categories (and the properties within those categories) that should label each row and column of the paradigm.
One of the techniques we recommend for determining the optimal arrangements of paradigms is to suspend for a moment the traditional labels and the places usually accorded them, and to permute the rows and columns of the paradigm in other possible arrangements while focusing on the forms that fill the cells.
Inflectional paradigms provide fertile ground for testing whether the hypothesis of marked and unmarked categories is revealing of universal tendencies in language phenomena.

 Syncretism Bibliography
Identities in inflectional paradigms of German are explored through geometric modelling, where identical forms in adjacent cells of a paradigmatic matrix are conflated.
In the context of a study of abstract structures in the lexicon, it is proposed that the cells of an inflectional paradigm are structured as the branches of a tree.
Inflection is mediated by paradigms, whose unmarked cells are filled in by the default values of features.

A paradigm: a set of related forms, a choice of which can be determined or accessed by syntax.
When the entries of a paradigm share a contiguous amount of phonological material, we identify that as the stem of the paradigm, and the other material as the affix that identifies that part of the paradigm.
Inflectional morphology must be understood as specifiying a position in a multi-dimensional chart (table, grid).

Inflectional morphologies may be fuller understood in light of this dichotomy, i.e., that derivations ultimately trace their origins back to interpretable features internal to the lexicon (l-morpheme), and, conversely, that Inflections are nothing more than 'morpho-phonetic fillers' (expletive in nature), the remnants of some computational operation of a broader syntactic scope (f-morpheme).
In brief, Grinstead concludes that it is the simultaneous onset of tense and number in the inflection paradigm that ultimately triggers a particular aspect of UG pertaining to the CAse of overt subjects.
If an inflectional affix is routed and incorporated into the stem, than processing access of the affix has the same status as access of the stem--with a kind of lexical incorporation that mimics pie-piping strategies.

An example of association of inflectional with conceptual class is given by those nouns of Italian which are masculine and have -o in the singular and those which are feminine and have -a in the plural.
A new inflectional class may spread in the lexicon far beyond the set of words in which the reanalyzed segment originally was present.
Furthermore, a reinterpretation in terms of inflection must have been available already at the previous state, when -sk- still was a suffix of word formation: as we have seen in section 3.1, -sk- did not combine with perfect stems.

Both the model and a generalized notion of paradigm developed from the rule-patterns of Bochner (1993), were applied a variety of derivational processes in English, French, Tigre and Lithuanian to identify and analyze the paradigmatic relationships upon which word formation in these languages is dependent.
In conclusion, while inflectional and derivational paradigms are not parallel in function and may differ in their range of applicability, they do share many of the same characteristics.

The latter is a cross-classification of the above paradigms according to surface phonological and graphemic properties.
This feature-based method's main advantage is the fact that possible paradigms and morpho-phonological types need not be defined previously, but the classification criteria have to be clarified only.
Paradigms that are difficult to identify are generally closed; no new words follow their morpho-graphemic patterns.

 Shibbolethisation
Groups of the tribe generalize the opaque paradigms on the basis of different stems in the perceived suppletive inflectional paradigm.
Suppose that a shibbolethisation took place: two groups each levelled the paradigm, one based on -k- and one based on -s-, and then the -k-/-s- opposition became a shibboleth and spread within each group outside the ablaut series.
It seems that the sh- pronounciations by the Danes was identified as German (as in Holland), and consequently the sk- and hence k- and g- pronounciation was felt to be Danish.

 VERBMOBIL: The Bielefeld Lexicon Archive: Information about the project
A paradigm is defined as a mapping from morphosyntactic categories to the inflected forms of one abstract lemma.
The paradigm class hierarchy is actually composed of two further hierarchies: a stem syncretism hierarchy (relevant chiefly for verbal stem syncretism), and an inflectional suffix syncretism hierarchy (cf.
The main application of this lexicon is to provide input to a paradigm generator, also implemented in Prolog, which operationalises the syncretism-based paradigm mapping and assigns the abstract lemmata of the knowledge base their orthographic and phonemic surface forms.

But both groups of verbs differ in their inflectional paradigms: modal verbs can have future-, present-/past-perfect- and subjunctive-forms, half modal verbs on the other hand have a defective paradigm.
The inflectional difference is explained by the assumption that half modal verbs stand in a position between the two tense operators V
The modal verbs on the other hand are inside the scope of both tense operators, which accounts for the fact that they show the full inflectional paradigm.

 Morphology
The verbal inflectional system is quite regular and can be obtained by the combination of prefixes, stems, inflections and auxiliaries.
The inflectional system for the Persian verbs consists of simple forms and compound forms; the latter are forms that require an auxiliary verb.
Verbal inflection can only appear on the light verb itself, but bound morphemes can be attached to the preverbal element as well as the light verb.

German (which happens to be my native language) is an excellent candidate for the investigation of nominal functional structure, since it possesses a very rich inflectional DP system: The German DP contains nominal agreement features for Case, number, and gender, which are overtly realized by a variety of elements, e.g.
Specifically, my research concentrates on the development of a complex morphological system that is traditionally referred to as the strong/weak inflectional paradigm.
After having examined the morpho-syntactic properties of the strong/weak inflectional paradigm in my MA thesis, I am now interested in how children acquire this complex system of Case, gender, and agreement within the DP.

Indeed, a paradigm can be seen as a function, which to a given lemma and form description assigns a form.
The inflection engine of a language is of a set of paradigms, for all different word classes.
In the Haskell definition of paradigms, tricks may be performed that are not possible to express in the simple notation we use, which is based on agglutination of stems and endings.

Brazilian Portuguese (BP) is undergoing a process of change in the representation of the pronominal referential subject, which clearly sets it apart from European Portuguese and other so-called pro-drop languages, such as Spanish and Italian.
In Duarte (1993), a diachronic study based on popular theater plays, it is shown that such a change can be related to the reduction of the inflectional paradigm due to the replacement of some pronominal forms that take different verbal endings.
As table (1) shows, BP evolved from a paradigm with six distinctive form (plus two extra second person forms of addressing), the same still used in European Portuguese (Par.

 Dissertation abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Once these two ideas are brought together, the structure of conjoined phrases becomes similar to that of other phrases, and at the same time its crucial properties are accounted for.
In essence, the structure of conjoined phrases involves duplicating an inflectional node: the higher part of it is headed by a lexically unspecified category (the conjunction) which inherits its properties from the lower part, which is a regular node (tense, aspect, agreement, etc.) The specifier of each of these nodes host a conjunct.
In chapter 2, I define conjunction by extension: first, I show that it shares properties with propositional projections, in particular the ability to accept adverbs; then I show that in certain languages it is systematically related to the inflectional paradigm, for example in Switch-Reference languages and in Southern Quechua.

Abstract: We present results from two cross-modal morphological priming experiments investigating regular person and number inflection on finite verbs in German.
We found asymmetries in the priming patterns between different affixes that can be predicted from the structure of the paradigm.
We also report data from language disorders which indicate that inflectional errors produced by language-impaired adults and children tend to occur within a given paradigm dimension, rather than randomly across...

Instead, we used a small lexicon of "quasi-roots" and some ancillary lexicons totalling about 14,000 entries.
The quasi-root is a three character string immediately preceding the inflectional ending which is shared by many words belonging to the same inflectional paradigm.
The processing algorithms are based on a simple but effective model of morphotactics.
