Rules, Rote, and Analogy in Morphological Formations by Hungarian Children

MacWhinney, Brian

Journal of Child Language, 2, 1, 65-77, Apr 75

This study examines the relative contributions of rote-memorization, analogic formation and rule-operation in the production of plurals. Rule-operation was found to be important in that children producing responses characteristic of a given stage did not produce responses for later stages. Contributions of analogic formation and rote-memorization were minimal. (Author/RM)
