What can a Wug Test tell us about abstract morpheme storage?

Wug Tests can be used to probe morphological knowledge, from the stages of morphological development in the classic Wug Test [1], to the productivity of morphemes in a human language [6, 21], to testing the acquisition of an artificial grammar [7, 9, 22]. The present study tested three speaker groups with an artificial grammar learning task, and an error analysis provided further evidence for the storage and processing of abstract morphemes in speakers of Maltese and Arabic. Errors from the three groups seem to be based on acceptable abstract morphemes and/or phonological structures found in the native language of participants.
