“…In contrast, a template or schema within the lexicon can account for the productivity of these phrases as lexical items and -via inheritance relations -also for their formal agreement with regular syntactic phrases. Such an analysis as constructional schema has been proposed by Booij (2002Booij ( , 2009aBooij ( , 2009bBooij ( , 2010b.…”

“…De esta forma, el modelo implicacional de WP permite una teoría morfológica abstractiva (Booij, 2010) que parte del paradigma como fundamento de la generación de formas de palabras. Por tanto, existe una estructura bien organizada de sistemas flexivos que permite al modelo implicacional organizar dichos sistemas mediante patrones ejemplares e identificadores léxicos.…”

RESUMEN. Este artículo aborda la flexión verbal con base en los conceptos introducidos en el modelo morfológico basado en palabras; en específico, el modelo de Word and Paradigm. Se propone una metodología para el análisis de la flexión verbal del español. Para esto, tomamos únicamente la primera conjugación del español. El análisis aquí establecido se basa en determinar partes principales que permitan predecir los paradigmas verbales de primera conjugación. Mostramos que a partir de unas cuantas partes principales es posible predecir el paradigma completo de una forma verbal. Asimismo discutimos los fenómenos de la competencia entre esquemas donde se presenta cambio de acento (como en las formas "hablemos" y "háblemos") así como las diptongaciones /o/ → /ue/ y /e/ → /ie/ que responden a un cambio en la parte principal. Finalmente, se muestran las ventajas que el modelo basado en palabras muestra en el análisis de la flexión.Palabras clave: Flexión; morfología basada en palabras; Word and Paradigm; partes principales.ABSTRACT. This article deals with verbal inflection based on concepts introduced in the word-based morphological model; in particular, the Word and Paradigm model. We propose a methodology for the analysis of verbal inflection of Spanish. For this, we take only the first conjugation of Spanish. The analysis here is based on determining the main parts that allow prediction of verbal paradigms of first conjugation. We show that from a few main parts it is possible to obtain the complete paradigm of a verbal form. We also discuss the phenomena of competition between schemas where there is a change of accent ("hablemos" and "háblemos" case) as well as the diphthongizations /o/ → /ue/ and /e/ → /ie/. This phenomenon responds to the modification of the principal part. Finally, the advantages that the word-based model presents in the inflection analysis are shown.

“…The English morpheme -s can carry at least two different meanings: it can be used to indicate a plural form such as in cat-s or it can signal a third person singular subject, such as in speak-s. In Construction Grammar, and in particular in Construction Morphology (Booij 2010), it is therefore more common to say that "morphologically complex words should be seen as constructions with holistic properties" (Sadler & Spencer 2004).…”

Although often a painful and prolonged process, conjugating verbs correctly is essential when you try to master a foreign language. Verbs that exhibit an irregular conjugation paradigm, however, are often the verbs that occur most frequently in a language. The nature of inflectional morphemes and the mechanism for conjugating verbs have been the topic of debate for 25 years now. This has led to many different accounts of the problem, both in the field of descriptive linguistics as well as in a range of modeling approaches. The field of Construction Grammar has recently witnessed the theoretical work on Construction Morphology by Geert Booij (2010), but there has been no computational implementation that could test the theory on a large scale.Using the framework of Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG), I investigate the grammar and morphological constructions that are needed to automatically conjugate the full paradigms of the 600 most frequently used verbs in Spanish. This paper reports a fully operational rule-based implementation of such a grammar and goes into the details of the constructions that support it. The results also show that morphological constructions are exemplary constructions since they combine two (or more) units (a stem and a suffix(es)) into a single meaningful unit (a conjugated verb form) that can be picked up by other discourse elements. Extensions towards embedding the conjugation constructions into a bigger grammar or automatically learning new morphological constructions remain the focus of future work.
