English Interlanguage Morphology

Focusing on the psycholinguistic aspects of irregular verb morphology, this book presents two empirical studies involving young language learners in Austria. It reviews four decades of research on the past tense debate and explores irregular and semi-regular verb forms in German and English. The author employs advanced statistical methods to analyze behavioral data, offering insights into second language acquisition and implications for EFL teaching. This work is crucial for researchers and students in SLA, applied linguistics, and cognitive linguistics.
