In this paper various conclusions will be drawn from a comparison of productive and non-productive German verb morphology; more specifically, it examines some of the properties of the morphological component of a generative grammar of German. 1 Two assumptions are made at the outset, which clearly distinguish the position adopted from that of the standard model of transformational phonology as exemplifed particularly in Chomsky & Halle (1968) (SPE). The first of these refers to the position of morphological rules in a grammar: it is that, for at least a large number of languages, the phenomena of morphology are not appropriately dealt with by syntactic, readjustment and phonological rules, in the manner of SPE, but that distinct morphological rules are required, rules which are, in particular, quite distinct from phonological rules
