inflection Význam & definícia

0 a change in or addition to the form of a word that shows a change in the way it is used in sentences:
- If you add the plural inflection "-s" to "dog" you get "dogs".
1 the way in which the sound of your voice changes during speech, for example when you emphasize particular words:
- His voice was low and flat, with almost no inflection.
2 change in the quality of the voice, often showing an emotion:
- Phyllis replies without any particular inflection in her voice, "I guess I’m lazy."
3 a change in a word form or ending to show a difference in the word’s meaning or use:
- "Gets," "got," and "gotten" are inflections of the verb "get."

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.
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.
