In this project we model the classification (TiMBL and NDL) and production (LSTM and GRU) of the Maltese noun plural system on the basis of whole words alone without using morphemes. The results of our modeling support a Word and Paradigm approach of morphological processing.
This research was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Research Unit FOR2373 ‘Spoken Morphology’, Projects VI 223/3-1, VI 223/3-2 and BA 3080/3-1), which we gratefully acknowledge.
