TLDR
This paper examines two contrasting perspectives on morphological analysis, and considers inflectional patterns that bear on the choice between these alternatives, and suggests advantages of an abstractive model derive from the fact that sets of words often predict other word forms and determine a morphotactic analysis of their parts.
