Single mechanism but not single route: Learning verb inflections in constructivist neural networks

Clahsen's theory raises problems that make it seem untenable As an alternative, a constructivist neural network model is reported that develops a modular architecture and in which a single associative mechanism produces all inflections, displaying an emergent dissociation between regular and irregular verbs. Thus, Clahsen's rejection of associative models of inflection concerns only a subgroup of these models
