Why Children Omit Function Morphemes : Metric vs . Syntactic Structure
It is an interesting and noticeable fact that in the early stages of language production, children omit certain elements from their speech. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that children regularly omit certain function morphemes, as opposed to content words. Function morphemes (including determiners, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, and inflection morphemes) form a natural class from both a p...
متن کاملWhy knowledge of morphemes matters for deaf children’s literacy
In order to learn to read, children must learn to think about the English language. Children’s awareness of the sounds of words helps them to understand the alphabetic principle. There are many sources of information for teachers about how to help deaf children become aware of the sounds of English. The research reported here is about how to help deaf children think in a different way about the...
متن کاملSemantic vs. Syntactic vs. N-gram Structure for Machine Translation Evaluation
We present results of an empirical study on evaluating the utility of the machine translation output, by assessing the accuracy with which human readers are able to complete the semantic role annotation templates. Unlike the widely-used lexical and n-gram based or syntactic based MT evaluation metrics which are fluencyoriented, our results show that using semantic role labels to evaluate the ut...
متن کاملPhonetic Realization of Suffix vs. Non-suffix Morphemes in Taiwanese
We investigated how Taiwanese diminutive suffix -a is phonetically realized in both juncture and context positions. As a grammatical morpheme, suffix -a is similar to Mandarin diminutive suffix -zi as in yi-zi “chair”. While Mandarin suffix -zi always has a neutral tone or belongs to an unstressed syllable, Taiwanese -a is widely accepted as having a full tone. However, due to the same function...
متن کاملEuclidean vs Graph Metric
The theory of sparse graph limits concerns itself with versions of local convergence and global convergence, see e.g. [41]. Informally, in local convergence we look at a large neighborhood around a random uniformly chosen vertex in a graph and in global convergence we observe the whole graph from afar. In this note rather than surveying the general theory we will consider some concrete examples...
