Dualistic models of inflection assume a qualitative distinction between affix-based regular forms and stored irregular forms, predicting that the two distinct mechanisms can be selectively affected in language disorders. We present data on German participle formation from 11 agrammatic Broca's aphasics which show that irregular participles can be selectively affected in agrammatism. Moreover, the distribution of errors reveals a frequency effect for irregular but not for regular participles. Both findings argue for a dualistic representation of inflection. Moreover, we want to propose a modification of dualistic models by suggesting that both regularity and irregularity are better conceived of as scalar.
屈折变化的二元模型假定基于词缀的规则形式和存储的不规则形式之间存在质的区别，预测这两种不同的机制在语言障碍中可能会受到选择性影响。我们展示了11位语法缺失型布罗卡失语症患者德语分词形成的数据，这些数据表明不规则分词在语法缺失中可能会受到选择性影响。此外，错误分布显示不规则分词存在频率效应，而规则分词则不存在。这两个发现都支持屈折变化的二元表征。此外，我们想对二元模型提出一种修正，即认为规则性和不规则性都更应被视为标量。
