This week at MCQLL, Vanna Willerton will be discussing the (over)application of irregular inflection, and exploring how it can influence our understanding of morphological productivity. She will review existing studies, as well as a recent large-scale corpus study of child speech with Graham Adachi-Kriege, Shijie Wu, Ryan Cotterell, and Tim O’Donnell, and current work analyzing recent experimental results.As usual, we meet at 1:00 in 117 of the McGill Linguistics building, and all are welcome!
