The Phenomena of Suppletivism and Heteronymy in Vebral Morphology of Modern German.

Zhukova N.S.

Information About Author:

The paper reviews the archaic inflection model – suppletive, and identifies the status of the hetero-stemic units, forms of the same word, as heteronymic or suppletive forms, depending on their systemic correspondence to the sets of irregular verbs; illustrates the need to differentiate the process of supplitivism from the resultant suppletive state, and the role of the latter in defining the productivity of morphological categories in Modern German.
