Surrey Morphological Complexity Database

This database records examples of what we have identified as morphological complexity, which we define as the morphologically-conditioned deviation between inflectional forms and the inflectional features they realize. This is manifested both within the paradigm (e.g. as syncretism or patterns of stem alternation) and across sets of lexemes (as inflection classes and lexically-conditioned allomorphy). Languages are presented in terms of the Ethnologue family classification.
