Approaches to morphology typically account for regular, completely productive aaxation, while ignoring subregular and semiproductive schemata. The alternative approach to derivational morphology presented here relates exceptions and subregularities to productive rules. It accounts for the contribution lexicalized words make to the rule, and for the fact that not all new formations follow thèrul...

The paper deals with the processing of Croatian morphology and presents CroDeriV – a newly developed language resource that contains data about morphological structure and derivational relatedness of verbs in Croatian. In its present shape, CroDeriV contains 14 192 Croatian verbs. Verbs in CroDeriV are analyzed for morphemes and segmented into lexical, derivational and inflectional morphemes. T...

Knowledge about derivational morphology has been proven useful for a number of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. We describe the construction and evaluation of DERIVBASE.HR, a large-coverage morphological resource for Croatian. DERIVBASE.HR groups 100k lemmas from web corpus hrWaC into 56k clusters of derivationally related lemmas, so-called derivational families. We focus on suffixal de...

Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) are known to have difficulties with spelling but the factors that underpin these difficulties, are a matter of debate. The present study investigated the impact of oral language and literacy on the bound morpheme spelling abilities of children with SLI. Thirty-three children with SLI (9-10 years) and two control groups, one matched for chronologi...

Heritage languages (HLs) reliably exhibit morphological patterns prone to change and restructuring. Yet, American Norwegian appears be remarkably stable in terms of structure, although with some surface variability. Contact have nevertheless long been observed, where original English loanwords receive inflectional morphology. Although there is robust evidence for undergoing both variation langu...

Derivational sequences and harmony scales are collections of relationships between phonological structures that are used to pick out a grammatical surface representation: a surface representation is the final form in a sequence in derivational phonology; it is the optimal form on a scale of relative harmony in optimality phonology. The two approaches would match still further if traversing alon...

inthis paperwe try to study theprobability ofguessing themeaning ofwords without continuosly referring to thedictionary for translation.if this is a useful method,we can teach it to translators.the questions this research tries to answer are as follows:1)can we differentiate the different sorts of words(simple,compound and derivational words)intranslation inaway thatwe would nottneed to continu...

this paper studies derivation in scientific and colloquial varieties in persian, and seeks to determine the frequency and manner of this process in each of the above-mentioned varieties by scrutinizing and comparing a significant number of derived words. to do so, after collecting persian scientific and colloquial words and analyzing them, the following issues will be specified a) what kinds of...
