The ability to detect non-adjacent dependencies (i.e. between a and b in aXb) in spoken input may support the acquisition of morpho-syntactic dependencies (e.g. The princess is kiss ing the frog). Functional morphemes in morpho-syntactic dependencies are often marked by perceptual cues that render them distinct from lexical elements. We use an artificial grammar learning experiment with adults ...

This paper proposes a new approach for acquiring morpho-lexical probabilities from an untagged corpus. This approach demonstrates a way to extract very useful and nontrivial information from an untagged corpus, which otherwise would require laborious tagging of large corpora. The paper describes the use of these morpho-lexical probabilities as an information source for morphological disambiguat...

This paper investigates the morpho-syntactic features of bilingual discourse made in blog articles by Chinese students studying in English speaking countries. The identified grammatical patterns of adjective, nominal and verbal constituents with Chinese and English fused together are used to testify and evaluate the Matrix Language hypothesis, which remains the central tenet of Myers-Scotton’s ...

This paper looks at the analysis of stem alternations: a type of non-affixal morphological change. Alternations of this type are controversial because they look in principle like they can be analyzed either with distinct stem forms in memory, or with (morpho)phonological rules that derive alternants from a single underlying form. I argue that the locality conditions on contextual allomorphy pro...

In this research, we evaluate different approaches for the automatic extraction of hypernym relations from English and Dutch technical text. The detected hypernym relations should enable us to semantically structure automatically obtained term lists from domainand userspecific data. We investigated three different hypernymy extraction approaches for Dutch and English: a lexico-syntactic pattern...

Current paper presents the results of a two-year project during which a consortium of the University of Szeged and the MorphoLogic Ltd. Budapest developed a morpho-syntactically parsed and annotated (disambiguated) corpus for Hungarian. For morpho-syntactic encoding, the Hungarian version of MSD (MorphoSyntactic Description) has been used. The corpus contains texts of five different topic areas...

Over the last twenty years or so, the approaches to partof-speech tagging based on machine learning techniques have been developed or ported to provide high-accuracy morpho-lexical annotation for an increasing number of languages. Given the large number of morpho-lexical descriptors for a morphologically complex language, one has to consider ways to avoid the data sparseness threat in standard ...

Background: Increasing evidence highlights the robust clinical value of morpho-constitutional classification proposed by Daudon.
