Abstract
We present a connectionist model of a general system for
producing inflected words. The Multiple Inflection Generator
(MIG) combines elements of several previous models
(e.g., association between phonological representations of
stem and inflection form: Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986;
multiple inflections for a grammatical class: Hoeffner &
McClelland, 1993; lexical-semantic input: Joanisse & Seidenberg,1999; multiple grammatical classes: Plunkett &
Juola, 1999). MIG assumes that the goal of the morphological component of the language system is to output a phonological form appropriate to the grammatical context in
which the word appears. Our aim was to demonstrate that
the model is able to capture developmental patterns in the
acquisition of morphology in two different languages: one
with a simple morphological system (English), and one
characterized by rich morphology and absence of default
forms (Modern Greek).
