First-order applicative term rewriting systems provide a natural framework for modeling higher-order aspects. In earlier work we introduced an uncurrying transformation which is termination preserving and reflecting. In this paper we investigate how this transformation behaves for innermost termination and (innermost) derivational complexity. We prove that it reflects innermost termination and ...

a motivated derivational word is a word that its meaning is the result of the meaning of word stem and derivational affixes. in this paper, the hypothesis is tested that by the passage fo time,motivation would be reduced and for this purpose, four itinerary passages from present and four equal passages from 200 years before are chose to understand ,under comparisons and statistical consideratio...

Analogical problem solving is mostly described as transfer of a source solution to a target problem based on the structural correspondences (mapping) between source and target. Derivational analogy (Carbonell, 1986) proposes an alternative view: A target problem is solved by replaying a remembered problem solving episode. Thus, the experience with the source problem is used to guide the search ...

We study the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method, enhanced with standard refinements. We obtain upper bounds on the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method in terms of the derivational complexity of the base techniques employed. In particular we show that the derivational complexity induced by the dependency pair method based on some direct techni...

In linguistic theory, there is no common point of view on the question whether verbs in aspectual pairs are inflectional or derivational relations. At same time, prefix and suffix methods forming contrasted this respect. The publications (e.g. Janda Lyashevskaya 2011) pointed out need to develop new quantitative approaches aspect text corpus. We propose two that compare characteristics both typ...

We examined differences between the processing of inflectional versus derivational morphology, using Greek nouns and verbs with a primed lexical decision task. Previous work suggested that both noun and verb targets were significantly primed by the same grammatical class. However, when preceded by different grammatical class, verb but not noun targets showed priming. We attributed the asymmetri...

The present article examines whether derivational morphology shows evidence of an associative memory structure. A distributional analysis of stems of attested derivational forms revealed evidence of clustering around phonological properties (gangs) for all nonneutral affixes but only a few neutral affixes. Subjects' acceptability ratings for novel complex words revealed sensitivity to the gang ...

The status of plan adaptation has been somewhat controversial in the AI-planning literature, due to a conflict between worst-case complexity analyses (which have led to pessimistic conclusions about the utility of plan adaptation) and empirical results (in which plan adaptation has performed significantly better than planning from scratch). This paper provides a step toward the resolution of th...

Morphological productivity is one of the key issues in the study of derivational morphology. This paper makes a survey of the quantitative measurements of morphological productivity so far proposed by different scholars, and tentatively attempts to point out the pros and cons and also feasibility of each measurement, with a view to provide some assistance for the future researcher who is going ...
