In this study, we investigate the relevance of inflectional paradigms and inflectional classes for lexical processing. We provide an information-theoretical measure of the divergence in the frequency distributions of two of the paradigms to which a word simultaneously belongs: the paradigm of the stem and the more general paradigm of the nominal class in which the stem is embedded. We show that after controlling for other variables, this measure is positively correlated with response latencies and error counts in a visual lexical decision experiment in Serbian. We interpret these results as a trace of the simultaneous influence on lexical processing of both the stem and the inflectional paradigms.

- Joint predictiveness in inflectional paradigms (2016, background): “…speakers do manifest sensitivity to paradigmatic properties of lexemes in the form of aspects of the statistical distribution of their forms (e.g. Milin et al., 2009), and that speakers do build on unary implications to predict unknown forms (e.g. Seyfarth et al., 2014), but we do not know of…”
