Abstract and Keywords
Network Morphology belongs to the family of inferential-realizational theoretical frameworks. This means that paradigms, more specifically the functions which construct them, play an important role. A major feature of Network Morphology is that it is based on defaults and allows for varying degrees of inheritance—from complete to partial—of paradigmatic structures. Network Morphology embraces computational implementation and has been applied to a range of typologically diverse languages. Computational fragments exist for languages belonging to a number of families, including Afro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Eskimo-Aleut, Gunwinyguan, Indo-European, Nakh-Daghestanian, Nilotic, and Nuclear Torricelli. It has also been used to model diachronic change.
Keywords: defaults, default inheritance, Network Morphology, regularity, override
Dunstan Brown holds an Anniversary Chair in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science, University of York. His research interests include autonomous morphology, morphology-syntax interaction and typology. Much of his work focuses on understanding morphological complexity, such as syncretism (The Syntax-Morphology Interface: A Study of Syncretism, with Matthew Baerman and Greville G. Corbett, Cambridge University Press 2005), as well as computational modelling of morphological systems (Network Morphology, with Andrew Hippisley, Cambridge University Press 2012).
