To examine the role of meaning in morphological decomposition ({re-}+{play}), researchers have employed the priming paradigm. Perceptually masked primes lead to facilitation both when decomposition is semantically appropriate (hunter-HUNT) and when it is not (corner-CORN), whereas with fully visible primes facilitation is observed only in the former case. We investigated the N400 brain potentia...

A morphological bandpass filter would, ideally, strictly limit the sizes of all features in an image to lie between the sizes of two similarly shaped but differently scaled structuring elements. A morphological bandpass decomposition of an image would be a disjoint set of morphological bandpass images with features of increasing size such that the set sums to the original image. Such strict ban...

This study uses the masked priming procedure to compare the decompositionality of regular with irregular English past tense forms relative to both an unrelated baseline and a baseline matched on orthographic similarity to the morphological prime. Morphological facilitation varies with the degree of similarity between related primes and targets. Discrepancies between unrelated and orthographic b...

Recently, we have been developing general multireso-lution signal decomposition schemes that unify traditional (linear) approaches and allow use of nonlinear ltering techniques in the decomposition. This paper summarizes our approach and provides several simple examples. Some of these examples are known in the literature (e.g., Haar pyramid and wavelet) and some of them are new (e.g., morpholog...

This paper describes an approach how to integrate the decomposition of non-lexicalized word compounds and derivations into the morphological analyzers of a NLP product line. The component employs word formation rules and filtering techniques to decompose words, which are not contained in the underlying dictionary database, thereby increasing the average word recognition rate of the morphologica...

This paper describes a method of analysing words through morphological decomposition when the lexicon is incomplete. The method is used within a text-to-speech system to help generate pronunciations of unknown words. The method is achieved within a general morphological analyser system using Koskenniemi two-level rules.

This paper discusses the construction of perfect reconstruction filter banks using morphological operators. Two concrete examples are given: (i) the morphological Haar wavelet, and (ii) a wavelet decomposition obtained from the lifting scheme which has the nice property that local maxima are being preserved.

This study examined whether and how the morphological structure of written words affects reading in word-based neglect dyslexia (neglexia), and what can be learned about morphological decomposition in reading from the effect of morphology on neglexia. The oral reading of 7 Hebrew-speaking participants with acquired neglexia at the word level-6 with left neglexia and 1 with right neglexia-was ev...
