Zero marking in inflection : a token-based approach

Becker Laura

Journal of Language Modelling

2024

Vol. 12, No. 2

349--413

This study examines zero marking, i.e. the absence of an overt expo-nent, in adjectival, nominal, and verbal inflectional morphology across languages. The first part of the study provides an overview of the dis-tribution of zero markers in inflection paradigms using the UniMorph dataset. The results show that there is a general preference against zero marking. The distribution of zero markers varies to a great ex-tent across languages and lemmas, the only robust trend being that they are avoided in cells that express a high number of grammatical values. The second part of this study examines the association between marker frequencies and phonological length, using the Universal De-pendencies treebanks. While token frequency is a good predictor for the length of overt markers, it does not account for the occurrence of zero markers. This is taken as evidence to support a differential non-development scenario of zero marking rather than a phonetic re-duction scenario.
