In this paper we introduce an approach to lexical description which is sufficiently powerful to support language processing tasks such as part-of-speech tagging or sentence recognition, traditionally considered the province of external algorithmic components. We show how this approach can be implemented in the lexical description language, DATR, and provide examples of modelling extended lexica...

One view suggests that learning is primarily driven by a network growth model where highly connected words in the child’s earl...
