Using Distributional Statistics to Acquire Morphophonological Alternations: Evidence from Production and Perception
Morphophonological alternations, such as the voicing alternation that arises in a morphological paradigm due to final-devoicing in Dutch, are notoriously difficult for children to acquire. This has previously been attributed to their unpredictability. In fact, the presence or absence of a voicing alternation is partly predictable if the phonological context of the word is taken into account, an...
متن کاملSomali and the Nature of Morphophonological Alternations
Somali is an East Cushitic language spoken in the Horn of Africa, with determiner morphemes whose initial consonants undergo interesting phonological alternations when suffixed onto noun stems. This could be described as a type of “derived environment contact phenomena,” as the changes in these suffix-initial consonants are totally dependent on the final segment of the stem and are not active i...
متن کاملUnsupervised Word Sense Induction using Distributional Statistics
Word sense induction is an unsupervised task to find and characterize different senses of polysemous words. This work investigates two unsupervised approaches that focus on using distributional word statistics to cluster the contextual information of the target words using two different algorithms involving latent dirichlet allocation and spectral clustering. Using a large corpus for achieving ...
متن کاملUsing Search Engines to Acquire Network Forensic Evidence
Search engine APIs can be used very effectively to automate the surreptitious gathering of information about network assets. This paper describes GooSweep, a tool that uses the Google API to automate the search for references to individual IP addresses in a target network. GooSweep is a promising investigative tool. It can assist network forensic investigators in gathering information about ind...
متن کاملPhonological generalization from distributional evidence
We propose a model of L2 phonological learning in which the acquisition of novel phonological category inventories proceeds not by mapping L2 inputs onto existing category inventories available in L1 and other already known languages, but rather through general categorization processes in which L1 and other language knowledge serves as an inductive bias. This approach views linguistic knowledge...
