In Korean writing, a space is placed between two adjacent word-phrases, each of which generally corresponds to two or three words in English in a semantic sense. If the word-phrase is used as a recognition unit for Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR), the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) rate becomes very large. If a morpheme or a syllable is used instead, a severe inter-morphe...

Students' vocabulary knowledge is related to their morphological awareness, which plays an essential role in word comprehension and development. This case study aimed at describing undergraduate students’ awareness difficulties morpheme identification relationship. employed the MAT test two analytical tests. The Morpheme Identification Test used measure how well first-year college students can ...

the existence of passive makers in kurdish language, similar to that of ancient iranian languages can be very helpful in linguistic studies, language change and finding the nature of passive structures in modern iranian languages such as persian. the writers of this article have found a passive maker in kurdish language and its dialects such as sorani, ardalani, kalhori, ilami and horami that l...

In this paper, we report on our use of zero morphemes in Unification-Based Combinatory Categorial Grammar. After illustrating the benefits of this approach with several examples, we describe the algorithm for compiling zero morphemes into unary rules, which allows us to use zero morphemes more efficiently in natural language processing. 1 Then, we discuss the question of equivalence of a gramma...

We describe Allomorfessor, which extends the unsupervised morpheme segmentation method Morfessor to account for the linguistic phenomenon of allomorphy, where one morpheme has several different surface forms. The method discovers common base forms for allomorphs from an unannotated corpus by finding small modifications, called mutations, for them. Using Maximum a Posteriori estimation, the mode...

Bisher bezogen sich Angaben zum Wortschatz einer Sprache meist auf Wortformen und basierten auf Korpora, die möglichst balanciert und repräsentativ sein sollten. Die vorliegende Untersuchung betrachtet neben der Verteilung der Wortformen auch die der Morpheme und Allomorphe, basierend auf einer regelgesteuerten automatischen Wortformerkennung (DMM). Die Morphemverteilung in einem klassischen Ko...

In three experiments we explored the mental representation of morphologically complex words in French. Subjects were asked to perform a gender decision task on morphologically complex words that were of the same gender as their base or not. We found that gender decisions were made more slowly for morphologically complex words made from a base with an opposite gender compared to words for which ...

We investigated the notion of “popularity” for machine-generated sentences. We defined a popular sentence as one that contains words that are frequently used, appear in many documents, and contain frequent dependencies. We measured the popularity of sentences based on three components: content morpheme count, document frequency, and dependency relationships. To consider the characteristics of a...
