"Differential" Treatment of Regular vs. Irregular Inflection in Compounds as Nonevidence for Level-Ordering.
Lardiere, Donna
Second Language Research, v11 n3 p267-69 Oct 1995
Criticizes the research of Clahsen (1991) and Clahsen and others (1992), which claims that a statistical tendency to produce more irregular than regular plurals in compounds among native and non-native learners of German is due to a biologically innate predisposition accounted for by the level-ordered morphology model of Kiparsky (1982). (Contains seven references.) (MDM)
