    <Paragraph position="0"> I. One might think of compromises between these two options, such as, for instance, the stem-based lexicon argued for in Anderson (1982), where lexical entries consists of stems rather than morphemes, and an independent morphological component is responsible for the derivation of inflectional forms.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Aronoff's (1976) proposal can also be viewed as a compromise solution. See footnote 2.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> 2. It should be pointed out that other word-based theories have been proposed. For instance, Aronoff (1976) argues for a word-based lexicon where only words which are atomic or exceptional in one way or another are entered in the lexicon.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> 3. In this paper, I will simply consider inflectional morphology as the adunc=ion to words of affixes which only modify features such as tense, person, number, gender, case, etc. as in read-SS, read-inR, book-s. Derivational morphology, on the other hand, deals with the addition of affixes which can modify the meaning of the word, and very often its categorial status, e.g. use-ful, use-ful-ness, hard-lv.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> 4. Potential words are words that are well-formed with respect to word formation rules, whereas the actual words are the those potential words that are realized in this language. To give an example, both arrival and arrivation are potential English words, but only the second happens to be an actual English word.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> 5. For instance, Koskeniemmi (1983b) mentions an average of I00 milliseconds per words on a DEC-20.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="6"> 6. This figure is indeed very conservative. Slocum (1982:8) reports that the cost of writing a dictionary entry for the TAUM-Aviation project was estimated at 3.75 man-hours...</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="7"> 7. This concepcion is yet another example of the &amp;quot;historicist approach&amp;quot; typical of classical transformational generative grammar, which assumes that synchronic processes recapitulates many of the diachronic developments.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="8"> 8. The following is an approximation of how independent information can be measu red: &amp;quot;(Information measure) Given a fully specified leixcal entry W to be introduced into the lexicon, the independent information it adds to the lexicon is (a) the information that W exists in the lexicon, i.e. that W is a word of the language; plus (b) all the information in W which cannot be predicted by the existence of some redundancy rule R which permits W to be partially described in terms of information already in the lexicon: plus (c) the cost of referring to the redundancy rule R.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="9"> 9. It will be argued below that morphology has a secondary role, which is to facilitate the acquisition of new words.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="10"> i0. In the conclusion of his &amp;quot;Prolegomena&amp;quot; Halle also mentions the possibility th at word formation rules be used when the speaker hears an unfamiliar word or when he uses a word freely invented.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="11"> II. From a psychological point of view, it could also be argued that morphology facilitates memorization.</Paragraph>
