Abstract

Since Blevins (2006), there has been a shift in morphological frameworks away from what he called a constructive perspective towards an abstractive perspective based on data directly available to speakers (i.e whole words). This evolution towards word-based morphology is part of a more general anticonstructionist movement in social sciences characterised by the quote in (1) about constructive approaches cited by Blevins et al. (2016a): In this paper, we elaborate on Blevins (2006) to define a realistic perspective for the use of morphological data and give an illustration of its place in the emergence of both inflectional and derivation paradigms with the French verbs and the French Ethnics.
