<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Defective paradigm''' is the situation where some (regular) inflectional forms of a lexical category are missing in a number of words.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> Dutch has a class of compound verbs (such as ''wielrennen'' (lit. wheelrun) 'bicycling') of which only the infinitive (''wielrennen'') and the past participle (''gewielrend'') are used, while other inflected forms are hardly used (*''hij wielrent'' or *''hij rent wiel'' 'he is bicycling') . These compound verbs have a defective paradigm.<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Defective+paradigm&amp;lemmacode=1060 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Morphology]]</div>
