This paper presents SFST-PL, a programming language for finite state transducers which is based on extended regular expressions with variables. The programming language is both simple and general and suitable for a wide range of possible applications. A compiler for the programming language is provided by the SFST tools which have successfully been used to implement a large-scale German morphol...

Assessing Language • Identify a disorder • Describe the disorder in terms of – Aspects/domains affected – Modalities affected – Strengths and needs • Plan intervention of treatment Language Domains • Form-syntax, morphology, phonology • Content-semantic components: knowledge of vocabulary and knowledge about objects and events • Use—pragmatics: the rules of oral language used in responding to a...

We develop a grammar for Urdu in Grammatical Framework (GF). GF is a programming language for defining multilingual grammar applications. GF resource grammar library currently supports 16 languages. These grammars follow an Interlingua approach and consist of morphology and syntax modules that cover a wide range of features of a language. In this paper we explore different syntactic features of...

Morphological analysis of various parts of speech is an important activity in order to design a machine translation system for a language. This paper describes morphological analysis of Punjabi nouns, pronouns and adjectives for developing Universal Networking Language (UNL) based Machine Translation (MT) system for this Language. All headwords which are involved in UNL-to-NL dictionary always ...

A learner's linguistic input is more variable if it comes from a greater number of speakers. Higher speaker input variability has been shown to facilitate the acquisition of phonemic boundaries, since data drawn from multiple speakers provides more information about the distribution of phonemes in a speech community. It has also been proposed that speaker input variability may have a systematic...

Objectives: The lexical-level deficits are one of the hallmark limitations observed in early school-age children with specific language impairment. These problems are the predictors of reading problems and poor performance at school. Most studies in Persian-speaker children with specific language impairment have focused on syntax and morphology and the naming errors profile of these children ar...

This article discusses complexity and simplification in Ewaw (also known as Kei or Keiese), an Austronesian language Southeast Maluku. Section 1 provides introduction to the genetics, spelling, phonology of this language, which is related languages Timor. There are two main dialects subdivide into variants each. 2 overview productive inflection its derivational morphology, only reduplication st...

Adult language acquisition typically falls far short of nativelike competence. Various explanations have been proposed for this limited attainment of adults compared to children, including critical periods for language acquisition, sociocultural differences, motivational differences, and restricted input. This paper considers an alternative explanation in terms of the associative learning pheno...

This paper 1 presents a language to express morphological processes, concatenative or nonconcatenative. The language allows the definition of two kinds of paradigms: helping paradigms, which define partial morphological forms, and main paradigms, which combine two or more helping paradigms to define fully specified forms. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n This paper presents a language to express morph...

This paper presents an application of finite state transducers weighted with feature structure descriptions, following Amtrup (2003), to the morphology of the Semitic language Tigrinya. It is shown that feature-structure weights provide an efficient way of handling the templatic morphology that characterizes Semitic verb stems as well as the long-distance dependencies characterizing the complex...
