In this paper we introduce a modular framework which allows to infer (feasible) upper bounds on the (derivational) complexity of term rewrite systems by combining different criteria. All current investigations to analyze the derivational complexity are based on a single termination proof, possibly preceded by transformations. We prove that the modular framework is strictly more powerful than th...

Abstract Context-sensitive rewriting is a restriction of where reduction steps are allowed on specific arguments $$\mu (f)\subseteq \{1,\ldots ,k\}$$ μ ( f ) ⊆ { 1 , … <mml:mi...

It is a tacit assumption of much linguistic inquiry that all distinct derivations of a string should assign distinct meanings. But despite the tidiness of such derivational uniqueness, there seems to be no a priori reason to assume that a gramma r must have this property. If a grammar exhibits derivational equivalence, whereby distinct derivations of a string assign the same meanings, naive exh...

The present work is a continuation of [5] and [6]. In [5] we have obtained derivational equations of a submanifold XM of a generalized Riemannian space GRN . Since the basic tensor in GRN is asymmetric and in this way the connection is also asymmetric, in a submanifold the connection is generally asymmetric too. By reason of this, we define 4 kinds of covariant derivative and obtain 4 kinds of ...

This study investigated the relations of three aspects of morphological awareness to word recognition and spelling skills of Dutch speaking children. Tasks of inflectional and derivational morphology and lexical compounding, as well as measures of phonological awareness, vocabulary and mathematics were administered to 104 first graders (mean age 6 years, 11 months) and 112 sixth graders (mean a...

This paper demonstrates that the treatment of nominal derivational morphology in Pān. ini’s grammar of the Sanskrit language (ca. 500BC) is based on an architecture strikingly similar to that of modern inheritance-based lexica. Specifically, Pān. ini adopts a single inheritance network with defaults to account concisely for intricate cases of affix homonymy and affix synonymy with minimal redun...

In Knowledge Management, variations in information expressions have proven a real challenge. In particular, classical semantic relations (e.g. synonymy) do not connect words with different parts-of-speech. The method proposed tries to address this issue. It consists in building a derivational resource from a morphological derivation tool together with derivational guidelines from a dictionary i...

Derivational morphology links are created for the Wordnet Bahasa, a combined Indonesian and Malay online lexical dictionary (Nurril Hirfana, Suerya, & Bond, 2011). The focus was to link root words to affixed words as affixation is one of the more apparent word formation processes in Bahasa Melayu. MorphInd, an Indonesian morphological analyser (Larasati, Kubon, & Zeman, 2011), is used to breakd...

Two experiments investigated phonological, derivational-morphological and semantic aspects of grammatical gender assignment in a perception and a production task in German aphasic patients and age-matched controls. The agreement of a gender indicating adjective (feminine, masculine or neuter) and a noun was evaluated during perception in Experiment 1 (grammaticality judgment). In Experiment 2 t...
