Definitions inflectional category, a morphological distinction made to mark a grammatical function (see prior lecture), e. g. , singular, masculine inflectional dimension, a classification system for a set of inflectional categories, e. g. , number, gender, case, tense, aspect, modality. Example: /-s/ marks the inflectional categories third person, singular, present tense" in. Example: walk-er is the derived noun, formed by adding the derivational suffix /-er/.
