Paraules clau:

Parallel Architecture, inflection, word formation, diminutive, plural

Resum

In Dutch dictionaries, nouns appear with their plural and their diminutive.
This reflects the intuition among native speakers that a noun normally has these
two related forms. Traditionally, the plural is considered inflectional whereas
the diminutive belongs to word formation. In his Parallel Architecture (PA),
Jackendoff (2002) does not distinguish word formation and inflection. Here I
argue that the Dutch contrast does not support this view. I first present plural
and diminutive as categories, then briefly introduce PA, before proposing
analyses of the plural and diminutive in Dutch.
