NOTES
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> (I) We are greatly indebted to Michael Thum for his careful documentation of the DEFAULTER system.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> (2) See e.g. White 1987, Bennett &amp; Sloeum 1988, Thurmair 1989 or Adriaens &amp; Caeyers 1990 for full discussions of the different aspects of the METAL system.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> (3) For a full account of the morphological process in METAL, see Loomis \]988.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> (4) A typical example of default-overriding for Dutch verbs is the following. If e.g. gaan (to go) has as one of its morphological characteristics that its past participle is formed with ge- (gegaan; the feature CL will have as one of its values PP-GE), this information must be overridden for the related verb vergaan (past participle is vergaan - not gevergaan, which means CL must be PP-0).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> These regularities are stored in the *DEF-DUTCH-VST-CL-CONV* table (defining the necessary morphological class conversions for past participles).</Paragraph>
