Morphological paradigms

In Distributed Morphology, morphological paradigms are largely seen as epiphenomena. Irregular forms or gaps associated with paradigms, such as 'go/went/gone' are explained via competition for vocabulary insertion.^[1] However, a recent discussion based on an analysis of (go-Ø/went) suggests that 'went' does not block '*goed' but rather 'go' cannot merge with the theme vowel '-e-' and then the past/perfect marker '-d'. Therefore, morphological paradigms may not necessarily be epiphenomenal and thus be explained not through competition in Vocabulary Insertion but rather MERGE is responsible for phonological and syntactic derivation.^[2]
