Abstract
Network Morphology belongs to the family of inferential-realizational theoretical
frameworks. This means that paradigms, more specifically the functions which
construct them, play an important role. A major feature of Network Morphology
is that it is based on defaults and allows for varying degrees of inheritance – from
complete to partial – of paradigmatic structures. Network Morphology embraces
computational implementation and has been applied to a range of typologically
diverse languages. Computational fragments exist for languages belonging to a
number of families, including Afro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Chukotko-Kamchatkan,
Eskimo-Aleut, Gunwinyguan, Indo-European, Nakh-Daghestanian, Nilotic, and
Nuclear Torricelli. It has also been used to model diachronic change.
