representation of inflected and derived words

[S. Helene Deacon]

I am interested in the development of the representation of inflected and 
derived words. There is some good older work on children's productions in 
this domain (e.g., Berko, 1958; deVilliers & deVilliers, 1973). Does anyone 
know of newer developmental work that directly compares inflected and 
derived words, regardless of the methodology? Further, I am interested in 
the developmental predictions made by different theories, such as dual-route 
and connectionist. As far as I can tell, these have focused primarily on 
regular and irregular inflections, so any leads on the comparison between 
inflected and derived words would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for 
any help with this!
