  10. ‘Weak’ versus ‘strong’ ● Nouns: - strong nouns convey more grammatical information; - weak nouns have simplified inflection and therefore have to be analyzed using their modifiers. ● Adjectives: - strong adjectives are the first (or only) modifiers in a noun phrase, conveying the most grammatical information; - weak adjectives have simplified inflection because they follow another modifier with fuller inflection, which has to be used for analysis.

  11. ‘Weak’ versus ‘strong’ ● Verbs: - strong verbs form their preterites and past participles using vowel gradation; - weak verbs form them using a dental suffix d / t . ‘Weak’ means a construct is later (Germanic rather than Indo-European) and follows simpler inflectional patterns.
