Abstract:

Paradigmatic gaps ('missing' inflected forms) have traditionally been
considered to be the random detritus of a language's history and marginal
exceptions to the normal functioning of its inflectional system. Arguing that
this is a misperception, Inflectional Defectiveness demonstrates that
paradigmatic gaps are in fact normal and expected products of inflectional
structure. Sims offers an accessible exploration of how and why inflectional
defectiveness arises, why it persists, and how it is learned. The book
presents a theory of morphology which is rooted in the implicative structure
of the paradigm. This systematic exploration of the topic also addresses
questions of inflection class organization, the morphology-syntax interface,
the structure of the lexicon, and the nature of productivity. Presenting a
novel synthesis of established research and new empirical data, this work is
significant for researchers and graduate students in all fields of
linguistics.
