S constraints on the paradigmatic structure have been put forth in the literature: Carstairs 1987 establishes a correlation between paradigms and infl ectional class; Wunderlich 1995 proposes that paradigms are constructed by the combinatorial force of the affi xes; Di Sciullo (in press) advances the hypothesis that morphological paradigms are based on an asymmetrical relation going from the ty...

We present an experimental study of how different features help measuring the idiomaticity of noun+verb (NV) expressions in Basque. After testing several techniques for quantifying the four basic properties of multiword expressions or MWEs (institutionalization, semantic non-compositionality, morphosyntactic fixedness and lexical fixedness), we test different combinations of them for classifica...

We study the use of greedy feature selection methods for morphosyntactic tagging under a number of different conditions. We compare a static ordering of features to a dynamic ordering based on mutual information statistics, and we apply the techniques to standalone taggers as well as joint systems for tagging and parsing. Experiments on five languages show that feature selection can result in m...

A central issue in bilingual research concerns the extent to which linguistic representations in the two languages are processed independently of each other. This paper reports the results of an empirical study and a model stimulation, which provide evidence for the interactive view, which holds that processing is not independent. Specifically, a reading experiment examined whether morpho-synta...

13 A central issue in bilingual research concerns the extent to which linguistic representations in the two 14 languages are processed independently of each other. This paper reports the results of an empirical study 15 and a model stimulation, which provide evidence for the interactive view, which holds that processing 16 is not independent.

The purpose of this work is to explore the integration of morphosyntactic information into the translation model itself, by enriching words with their morphosyntactic categories. We investigate word disambiguation using morphosyntactic categories, n-best hypotheses reranking, and the combination of both methods with word or morphosyntactic n-gram language model reranking. Experiments are carrie...

In Swedish determiner phrases definiteness can be realised both pre-nominally with a definite article and postnominally with a definite suffix on the head noun. This paper discusses the distribution of definiteness morphology in a number of morphosyntactic contexts. Separate patterns of definiteness marking emerge when considering the following morphosyntactic contexts: DPs modified with a prep...

The paper presents the MULTEXT-East language resources for the Serbian language. MULTEXT-East is a multilingual dataset for language engineering research and development. This standardised and linked set of resources covers a large number of mainly Central and Eastern European languages and includes the EAGLES-based morphosyntactic specifications, defining the features that describe wordlevel s...
