compounding/morphology

[ackerman at ling.ucsd.edu]

i'm searching for lfg (or other lexicalist) references which might relate
to the claims of P. Gordon and Clahsen et. al., for english and german
respectively, in the p&p acquisition tradition,  concerning an hypothesized
innate mechanism blocking the presence of  productive/default inflection
internal to compounding (so, *rats-eater vs. mice-eater).  i am writing an
article on the acquisition of finnish compounding and would like to examine
this issue from the perspective of lfg.  my question is simply a
bibliographic one:  are there any recent lfg accounts of (1) compounding
which addresses inflection internal to compounds and/or (2) discussions of
the acquisition of morphology (besides pinker 1984) or anything dealing
with the literature on morphology and connectionist modelling and the
related issue
of single versus dual mechanisms?

thanks for any help, farrell
