Distributed Morphology definition
Examples of Distributed Morphology in a sentence
In Distributed Morphology, Vocabulary Insertion (VI) refers to the pairing of syntactic nodes with phonological representations or exponents, thus the mapping from syntax to phonological form.
Morphology consuming syntax’resources: Generation and parsing in a minimalist version of Distributed Morphology.
We have also shown that agreement operations should not be handled by post-syntactic rules, such as those proposed in Distributed Morphology.

In Distributed Morphology, besides lexical roots and the category-defining nodes n0, v0 and a0, a third category consists of functional morphemes bearing their own category.
Although Semitic discontinuous agreement has been discussed extensively in the previous literature on Distributed Morphology, going back to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (1992) MIT dissertation, the basic facts have continued to challenge theories of the post-syntactic component.
This view is preserved to some extent in relational grammar and within core generative grammar it has been revived in recent years as the ‘late insertion’ hypothesis in the Distributed Morphology models.
First, the Subset Principle is refashioned from a procedural restriction on Vocabulary Insertion into a constraint that holds after a vocabulary item is inserted; see Arregi & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2012) for other examples of inviolable constraints in Distributed Morphology.
For this reason, there is initial appeal in describing the agreement pattern as a case of what Distributed Morphology (DM; ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1993) calls post-syntactic operations that take place in the morphological component, in the PF branch of the grammar.
Within one realizational theory of morphology, Distributed Morphology, it is not easy to understand why the combinations of pronominal clitics in (16) and (17) are ungrammatical.
