A language impairment that affects the production of inflected and/or derived words may result from a deficit that specifically affects morphological processing mechanisms, but it might also arise from whole-word processing failures as well (Badecker & Caramazza, 1987; Funnell, 1987). However, to motivate a true morphological impairment, the deficit must be understood in terms of one or more different levels of morphological structure. Minimally, we can distinguish a word’s morphosyntactic representation from its morphophonological representation. In the single-case study reported here a deficit affecting the representation or processing of morphosyntactic representations is motivated. A critical part of the argument is that the deficit affects both regular and irregular inflection, and that no wholeword processing deficit can account for the particular pattern observed in this patient.
