Stem spaces in abstractive morphology: a look at defectiveness in French conjugation

Résumé

Inflectional morphology descriptions usually adopt a top-down perspective using, for example, a partition of the lexicon into more or less fine-grained inflectional classes and describing the different classes (e.g. Network Morphology: Corbett & Fraser 1993, Brown & Hippisley 2012 or Natural Morphology: Kilani-Schoch & Dressler 2005), or a set of stems for lexemes and rules of realizations for feature bundles (e.g. A-Morphous Morphology: Anderson 1992 or Paradigm Function Morphology: Stump 2001). With Blevins (2006) and Ackerman et al. (2009), a different type of description with an abstractive approach has appeared built around Information Theory (Shannon, 1948), word-based and revolving around the Paradigm Cell Filling Problem (PCFP) in (1). (1) Given exposure to an inflected wordform of a novel lexeme, what licenses reliable inferences about the other wordforms in its inflectional family? This has lead to a new line of word-based descriptions hingeing on implicative relations between forms, for example the dynamic principal parts of Stump & Finkel (2013), or the joint predictiveness of Bonami & Beniamine (2016)). In this paper, we revisit French conjugation and the analysis of defectiveness as suppletion of a null stem proposed by Boyé (2000) and Boyé & Cabredo Hoffherr (2010) in the light of implicative morphology.
