Storage or computational efficiency. The mental representation of inflectional paradigms

Jolanta Sękowska Logo ORCID

Abstract

The question of how inflected forms are represented in mental lexicons has been the subject of many studies for more than 20 years now. Are inflected forms stored in long-term memory in their entirety or are they a result of some computations? What details of their internal structure are recorded in mental lexicons? This article discusses how morphological relationships are represented in long-term memory, and explores the psychological feasibility of inflectional paradigms from the perspective of memory and computational efficiency.
