Typology of Defectiveness The project A Typology of Defectiveness, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, aims to expand our empirical knowledge of this intriguing phenomenon and to clarify its significance for the study of language. Currently, this website provides links to the presentations from the conference Defective Paradigms: missing forms and what they tell us (held April 10-11, 2008 at the British Academy), as well as a list of project outputs. A typological database will be made available early in 2009. in Linguistics > Morphologywith defectivemorphologyparadigms
