German Morphological Profile #
@cite{wals-2013} @cite{bickel-nichols-2001}
WALS-derived profile (Ch 20A–29A, 21B, 62A, 79A/B, 80A) for German (ISO deu,
WALS code ger). The B&N 2001 parameters (flexivity := flexive,
bnExponence := cumulative) are not derivable from any WALS chapter and are
paper-stipulated per @cite{bickel-nichols-2001}; together with the WALS-derived
fusion := concatenative they place German in the traditional "fusional" cell.
WALS F20A's exclusivelyConcatenative verdict samples a small set of formatives
and systematically under-weights ablaut (singen sang gesungen) and
umlaut (Bruder ~ Brüder); a process-based treatment would not classify
German as exclusively concatenative.
German: WALS-derived MorphProfile via MorphProfile.fromWALS. Required-field
fallbacks match WALS values (lookup wins when present); flexivity and
bnExponence are stipulated per B&N 2001.
