“…Meanwhile, inflection and derivations as the word-formation system are parts of the morphological analysis. Functional morphemes, both bound (inflectional) and free morphemes (e.g., articles, auxiliaries), carry grammatical meanings that radically change the overall interpretation of a sentence and discourse [6]. Besides, no sentence meaning is complete without taking the functional and especially the inflectional morphology contributions.…”

This study investigates inflectional markers of Mandarese language concerning generative morphology. It aims to describe the forms of the inflectional marker and its distribution in the Mandarese language. It deploys a generative morphological approach to analyse language based on linguistic knowledge or intuition of native speakers. It uses the descriptive qualitative method systematically, factually, and accurately describing language facts. It also uses the library research method and linguistic field method to obtain the data. The library research method used is to obtain basic concepts or relevant theories to the problem investigated (inflection of Mandarese language). Besides, the linguistic field method carried out is collecting the data in the location. Data collection techniques are elicitation, recording, note-taking, and documentation. Spoken data are obtained from native speakers, while written data are Mandarese folklores, magazines, and relevant studies. The result shows that there are three forms of the inflectional marker in Mandarese language, including inflectional affix with a repetitive marker (-i and -boi), inflectional affix with a comparative marker (si-), and inflectional affix with clitic marker in terms of completive aspect markers (mi, -maq, -moq), incomplete aspect markers (-pa, -paq, -pao, -pi), and continuative aspect markers (-dua, -duaq, -duao, -duai). The distribution of inflectional markers in Mandarese language generally has no impact on word class changes, and all widely distribute. In the morphological word formation, the inflectional marker forms tend to be located outside or far from the root.

We used event‑related potentials to investigate how markedness impacts person agreement in English‑speaking learners of L2‑Spanish. Markedness was examined by probing agreement with both first‑person (marked) and third‑person (unmarked) subjects. Agreement was manipulated by crossing first‑person subjects with third‑person verbs and vice versa. Native speakers showed a P600 for both errors, larger for “first‑person subject + third‑person verb” violations. This aligns with claims that, when the first element in the dependency is marked (first person), the parser generates stronger predictions regarding upcoming agreeing elements using feature activation. Twenty‑two upper‑intermediate/advanced learners elicited a P600 across both errors. Learners were equally accurate detecting both errors, but the P600 was marginally reduced for “first‑person subject + third‑person verb” violations, suggesting that learners overused unmarked forms (third person) online. However, this asymmetry mainly characterized lower‑proficiency learners. Results suggest that markedness impacts L2 agreement without constraining it, although learners are less likely to use marked features top‑down.
