  This paper describes a modular connectionist model of the acquisition of
receptive inflectional morphology. The model takes inputs in the form of phones
one at a time and outputs the associated roots and inflections. Simulations
using artificial language stimuli demonstrate the capacity of the model to
learn suffixation, prefixation, infixation, circumfixation, mutation, template,
and deletion rules. Separate network modules responsible for syllables enable
to the network to learn simple reduplication rules as well. The model also
embodies constraints against association-line crossing.
