Many phonological phenomena are conditioned by extra-phonological, especially morpho-syntactic information. The goal of this talk is to suggest that whenever there are concurrent representational and procedural solutions for the transmission of morpho-syntactic information , advantage is to be given to the latter. Indeed, we argue that procedural analyses allow for a control outside of the phon...

The words of language contain a nontrivial amount of linguistic information, such as what the word means, how it may be used in a sentence, and how it is to be spoken and written. In this article, we consider the computational problem of learning the linguistic structure of a novel word, as well as that of learning the \overall" morpho-phonology of a language. Our main result is that the comput...

In this paper we discuss morpho-syntactic clues that can be used to facilitate terminological processing in Serbian. A method (called SRCE) for automatic extraction of multiword terms is presented. The approach incorporates a set of generic morpho-syntactic filters for recognition of term candidates, a method for conflation of morphological variants and a module for foreign word recognition. Mo...

We propose a modular approach to paraphrase and entailment-rule learning that addresses the morphosyntactic variability of lexical-syntactic templates. Using an entailment module that captures generic morpho-syntactic regularities, we transform every identified template into a canonical form. This way, statistics from different template variations are accumulated for a single template form. Add...

The Morpho butterflies exhibit surprisingly brilliant blue wings originating from the submicron structure created on scales of the wing. It shows extraordinarily uniform color with respect to the observation direction which cannot be explained using a simple multilayer interference model. We have performed microscopic, optical and theoretical investigations on the wings of four Morpho species a...

In this paper, we try to characterize various steps of the syntax acquisition of their native language by children with emerging sequential patterns of Part Of Speech (POS) labels. To achieve this goal, we first build a set of corpora from the French part of the CHILDES database. Then, we study the linguistic utterances of the children of various ages with tools coming from Natural Language Pro...

Morpho-agronomic and molecular (RAPD and ISSR markers) data were used to evaluate genetic distances between papaya backcross progenies in order to help identify agronomically superior genotypes. Thirty-two papaya progenies were evaluated based on 15 morpho-agronomic characteristics, 20 ISSR and 19 RAPD primers. Manhattan, Jaccard and Gower distances were used to estimate differences based ...

In natural language processing many practical tasks, such as speech recognition, information retrieval and machine translation depend on a large vocabulary and statistical language models. For morphologically rich languages, such as Finnish and Turkish, the construction of a vocabulary and language models that have a sufficient coverage is particularly difficult, because of the huge amount of d...

Our algorithm, ParaMor, fared well in Morpho Challenge 2007 (Kurimo et al., 2007), a peer operated competition pitting against one another algorithms designed to discover the morphological structure of natural languages from nothing more than raw text. ParaMor constructs sets of affixes closely mimicking the paradigms of a language, and, with these structures in hand, annotates word forms with ...

We investigated whether brain potentials of grammatical aspect processing resemble semantic or morpho-syntactic processing, or whether they instead are characterized by an entirely distinct pattern in the same individuals. We studied aspect from the perspective of agreement between the temporal information in the context (temporal adverbials, e.g., Right now) and a morpho-syntactic marker of gr...
