Inflections in Hindi Language

Nehchal Jindal

Here we would look into regular and irregular inflection forms in case of Hindi.

Motivation and Literature
For inflection, two theories have been debated. One is dual model thoery and other is single mechanism connectionist theory. Aim would be to design and conduct experiment to support one of the theory.

Methodology
We would ask people to inflect words and measure their reaction times. Later analysis of reaction times would be done to reach at appropriate conclusions.
