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...

Early morphological decomposition of complex words has been supported by evidence showing that the magnitude of masked transposed-letter (TL) priming effects is greater for within-morpheme transpositions than for between-morpheme transpositions. However, these findings have lately been called into question, and a recent article by Sánchez-Gutiérrez and Rastle (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 20,...

Geomorphometry of headwater catchments has been poorly reported in the Central-Eastern Pyrenees. This study presents a series of parameters obtained for Central-Eastern Pyrenean headwater catchments. The database consists of 3005 1and 655 2-order catchments. These catchments have been digitalised, identified, and attributed a value for each parameter. The parameters investigated are divided int...

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...

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 ...

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...
