Word formation processes have become one of the most important steps for company in creating brand names. This study aims to identify and describe word on snack brands. There were 30 objects brands this study. The object was names found Alfamart Indomaret. Qualitative descriptive method applied results show that there six words names, namely blending, compounding, borrowing, acronyms, coinage m...

Lexical pragmatics starts from the assumption that the meaning communicated by a word is underdetermined by its semantics, and lexical pragmatists usually study the processes involved in bridging the gap between the encoded and the communicated meaning of words. This paper studies a di erent but related question: wether di erent types of linguistic encoding can play empirically distinguishable ...

An empirical method for splitting German compounds is explored by varying it in a number of ways to investigate the consequences for factored statistical machine translation between English and German in both directions. Compound splitting is incorporated into translation in a preprocessing step, performed on training data and on German translation input. For translation into German, compounds ...

Abstract This paper investigates the production of Persian–English bilingual compound verbs (BCVs) type [VERB+VERB]. In this code-switched structure, a lexical verb from donor language English is combined with light native Persian. We tested hypothesis that in BCVs occupy nominal slots monolingual Persian complex predicates [NOMINAL+VERB]. Two methodologies were used. A conversational-corpus an...

Compound words are frequently encountered in the medical domain. Their conciseness complies with the telegraphic style usually adopted by clinicians in daily practice. This amplifies the need for clarifying their semantic interpretation and representation through respectively the analysis and generation processes. While highlighting the peculiarities of medical compound words, this paper shows ...

Compound words with unmarked word boundaries are problematic for many tasks in NLP and computational linguistics, including information extraction, machine translation, and syllabification. This paper introduces a simple, proof-of-concept language modeling approach to automatic compound segmentation, demonstrated with Finnish. The approach utilizes an off-the-shelf morphological analyzer to spl...

This paper reports the results of our experiments performed for the Query Term Expansion Subtask, a subtask of the WEB Task, at the Fifth NTCIR Workshop, and the results of our further experiments. In this paper we mainly investigated: (i) the effectiveness of query formulation by composing or decomposing compound words and phrases of the Japanese language, which is based on a theoretical frame...

Common ratio effects should be ruled out if subjects' preferences satisfy compound independence, reduction of compound lotteries, and coalescing. In other words, at least one of these axioms should be violated in order to generate a common ratio effect. Relying on a simple experiment, we investigate which failure of these axioms is concomitant with the empirical observation of common ratio effe...
