Adaptive strategies in lexical acquisition Marzi Claudia Ferro Marcello Marzi, Claudia Ferro, Marcello German plurals Morphological generalisation Self-organising memory Word processing The emergence of morphological patterns from lexical storage in language acquisition is conditioned by language-specific factors as well as extra-linguistic cognitive capacities. With particular reference to the acquisition of plural markers in German, in a memory-based perspective highlighting interesting theoretical implications for usage-based models, the paper analyses acquisitional strategies by focussing on emergent relations between stored word forms and on dynamic expectation/competition of incoming input. In particular, we outline an adaptive multifactorial account of morphological processing that includes both frequency and formal factors. Our investigation is supported by a computational model of morphology acquisition/processing based on self-organisation memories, where word representations are dynamically recoded as time-series. 2013 info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14243/256850 10.1418/75045 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/scopus/2-s2.0-84892521599 http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84892521599&partnerID=q2rCbXpz eng volume:XII issue:2 firstpage:307 lastpage:328 numberofpages:22 journal:LINGUE E LINGUAGGIO STAMPA
