The Creation of Morphological Zeroes

This paper is concerned with reanalyses that create zero exponents of morphological properties. It will survey a number of types of such reanalysis and try to make generalisations about what kinds of word-forms are liable to be reanalysed. The characteristics of these candidates for reanalysis include both the kinds of category information they code and the formal means by which this information is coded.
