Baseless derivation: the behavioural reality of derivational paradigms
Cognitive LinguisticsStandard accounts of derivational morphology assume that it is incremental: some words are formed on the basis of others, and each derivational family has a base from which all of the other words are derived.

Lability in Hittite and Indo‐European: A Diachronic Perspective
Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT Lability is defined as the possibility of a verb to enter a valency alternation without undergoing any change in its form. Labile verbs were common in ancient Indo‐European languages, including Hittite, which mostly features anticausative lability, with reflexive and reciprocal lability being less prominent.

Ordinal Numerals as a Criterion for Subclassification: The Case of Semitic
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 240-256, March 2026.Abstract This article explores how ordinal numerals (like first, second and third) can help classify languages, focusing on the Semitic language family. Ordinals are often formed according to productive derivational processes, but as a separate word class, they may retain archaic morphology that is otherwise lost from the language.

Templatic morphology through syntactic selection: Valency-changing extensions in Kinyarwanda
Glossa, 2019 The existence of both morphological templates (Hyman 2003) and Mirror Principle (Baker 1985) compliant behaviour in the same language presents an interesting case of grammatical principles at odds.

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Semantic transparency is a key construct for understanding how complex words are represented and processed, yet it has been conceptualized and operationalized in diverse ways across studies. In this study, we validate whether semantic transparency exhibits multidimensional properties across different measures in Mandarin Chinese.

The Treatment of Derivational Morphology in a Multilingual Transfer-based MT System (Eurotra) [PDF]
, 1991 In this paper, we examine the impact of using interlingual labels in derivational morphology. We demonstrate that interlingual labels in derivational morphology contribute to reducing complexity in transfer.

A nuclear families word list for French
The Modern Language Journal, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 111-138, Spring 2026.Abstract This between‐languages replication study relates the development and testing of a nuclear, families‐based, pedagogical word list for French as was previously done for English. A word family includes base and inflected words (or lemmas) plus derivations.
