| 释义 | inflection noun (UK alsoinflexion)uk /ɪnˈflek.ʃən/ us /ɪnˈflek.ʃən/ inflectionnoun (GRAMMAR)[ C ] language specialized a change in or addition to the form of a word that shows a change in the way it is used in sentences: 屈折成分;屈折变化 If you add the plural inflection "-s" to "dog" you get "dogs".在 dog 这个词后面加上复数的屈折成分 -s，就成为 dogs。 In the present tense we say "he sits", because the third person singular inflection of the verb is -s. By adding the inflection "-ed", you form the past tense of the verb.

Examples of inflectioninflection All these inflections added up to little more than endless and empty whimpering. Even at 36 months, the children in both groups studied here did not produce enough phonetically complex bound inflections to permit meaningful analysis. Genitive inflections would be expected to be difficult according to the agreement deficit account, because case assignment is involved. Complex strategies and direct reading predicted positively, while teaching vocabulary and building joint attention predicted negatively the mastery of inflections. Only the literal reading measure continued to predict mastery of inflections. Overall, these errors are consistent with the suggestion that children are gradually working out the function of the en and ed inflections. All modal and auxiliary-type elements are also realized as suffixes on the verb stem, as in other kinds of verbal inflections. The alternative view on the acquisition of inflections minimizes the importance of rule learning in favor of associative learning. Swedish represents a good example because finite inflections in this language mark tense only, without making any distinctions according to person or number. Agreement on this measure ranged from 86.5% for indefinite articles to 98.5% for noun plural inflections. As is already apparent by a glance at the original notation, there is a proliferation of chromatic inflections. The number of third singular inflections was quite high, due to the fact that the stories were written in present tense. In the experiment designed for the present research, verbs with alternative inflections were avoided. The masculine and feminine classes are relatively large, so most masculine and feminine inflections apply to more nouns than the neuter ending. There should be no other differences between the gender classes (since regular inflections are not sensitive to frequency or phonological similarity).
