Learning complex inflectional paradigms through blended gradient inputs

Author: Eric R Rosen (Johns Hopkins University)

Abstract

Through Gradient Symbolic Computation (Smolensky and Goldrick, 2016), in which input forms can consist of gradient blends of more than one phonological realization, we propose a way of deriving surface forms in complex inflectional paradigms that dispenses with direct references to inflectional classes and relies solely on relatively simple blends of input expressions.
