Construction Morphology and the Lexicon

چکیده
A word formation pattern in which use is made of a particular affix can thus be conceived of as a morphological construction in which it is only the affix that is specified whereas the slot for the stem is variable. That is, each affixation pattern is a constructional idiom (in the sense of Jackendoff, 2002). Such affixation templates give direct expression to the fact that affixes are not lexical items by themselves: they only exist as parts of complex words, and as parts of abstract schemas for these complex words. Thus, this form of representation is in line with the basic idea of lexeme-based morphology that it is words that form the basis of morphological knowledge and productivity The traditional notion of construction and its importance for theories of linguistic structure have recently received renewed attention within the theoretical framework of Construction Grammar. The basic idea of Construction Grammar can be summarized as follows:

متن کاملA Language-independent Approach to Extracting Derivational Relations from an Inflectional Lexicon
In this paper, we describe and evaluate an unsupervised method for acquiring pairs of lexical entries belonging to the same morphological family, i.e., derivationally related words, starting from a purely inflectional lexicon. Our approach relies on transformation rules that relate lexical entries with the one another, and which are automatically extracted from the inflected lexicon based on su...
