The main goal of this paper is to describe to what extent the three main open word classes in Pite Saami (nouns, verbs and adjectives) can be automatically assigned to inflectional classes in language technology, specifically for a Finite State Transducer. For each of these word classes, the relevant structural features necessary for determining inflectional class membership are described. In t...

A verb paradigm is a set of inflectional categories for a single verb lemma. To obtain verb paradigms we extracted left and right bigrams for the 400 most frequent verbs from over 100 million words of text, calculated the Kullback Leibler distance for each pair of verbs for left and right contexts separately, and ran a hierarchical clustering algorithm for each context. Our new method for findi...

The general aim of my diploma thesis is to develop a (semi-)automatic method for the acquisition of a German inflectional lexicon from raw texts. In particular, I want to explore whether inflectional stems can be deduced from word-form occurences that fit into known morphological paradigm classes.

BACKGROUND Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting language acquisition in the absence of frank neurological damage, hearing deficits, severe environmental deprivation, or mental retardation. Children with SLI have significant difficulties in syntax domain of language compared to semantics, while their acquisition of pragmatics is relatively spared. PURPO...

This paper describes a novel undertaking: comparing the relationship between grammatical ambiguity (syncretism) in nouns, as represented in a default inheritance hierarchy, with textual frequency distributions. In order to do this we consider a language with a reasonable number of grammatical distinctions and where syncretism occurs in different morphological classes. We investigated this relat...

This research aimed to identify what error of inflectional affixes was the most frequently appeared on students’ writings and least writings. The approach qualitative method with descriptive analysis analyze data. data were taken from made by 111 second semester students Indonusa Polytechnic Surakarta majoring in health information management. perform percentage plural -s/es 58,46 %, third pers...

This study investigated the impact of inflectional and derivational morphemic analysis awareness on ESL secondary school students’ vocabulary learning strategy. The quasi-experimental study was conducted with 106 low proficiency secondary school students in two experimental groups (inflectional and derivational) and one control group. The students’ vocabulary acquisition was assessed through tw...

In this survey, we give an overview over some aspects of the set of tilting objects in an $m-$cluster category, with focus on those properties which are valid for all $m geq 1$. We focus on the following three combinatorial aspects: modeling the set of tilting objects using arcs in certain polygons, the generalized assicahedra of Fomin and Reading, and colored quiver mutation.

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...
