The WUG test is an instrument developed to allow the investigation of how the plural and other inflectional morphemes are acquired in a certain language. While at first just applicable to English, the test has been modified to fit certain languages.

The WUG test includes a series of questions which use the seven point Likert scale for reference. The tendencies of the usage of languages within an environment are analyzed with this instrument. The WUG test offers instructions on how to administer the test. The WUG test was initially created to study the acquisition of the plural English language, they discovered in their studies that very young children do not even recognized plural language and seem baffled when confronted with a test.
