{ "pk": 33067, "title": "Multiple determinants of the productive use of the regular past tense suffix", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "We offer evidence that the productive use of English regular \npast tense morphology (e.g., drived) results from \ncompetitions among lexical-level features within a single \nmechanism associative system. W e present error data \nfrom: (1) on-line elicited productions by adult native \nspeakers (N = 51), and (2) cormectionist back-propagation \nnetworks trained to map stems and past tenses of 552 \nEnglish verbs. The frequency of regularizations is \nanalyzed in terms of item frequency, stem final alveolar \nconsonant, and similarity in past tense mapping across \n\"friends\" and \"enemies\" in phonologically defined \nneighborhoods. All items were compiled from a lexicon of \n1,191 verbs which represents a near-exhaustive listing of \nmonosyllabic stem-past tense pairs in current American \nEnglish. Results revealed striking similarities between the \nhiunan and simulation data. Regularizations were \nsignificantly correlated with item frequency, as well as \nphonological attributes of the stem. Crucially, \nregularization was a function of phonological similarity to \nfrequent suffixed items, especially for irregulars that \nnormally undergo a vowel-change. These results are \nincompatible with the view that regularization applies by \ndefault, independently of inter-item similarities which \nsupport the acquisition and processing of lexical items in \nassociative systems.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "17", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6238s380", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Virginia", "middle_name": "A.", "last_name": "Marchman", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin, Madison", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1995-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33067/galley/24128/download/" } ] }
