This paper proposes a new approach for acquiring morpho-lexical probabilities from an untagged corpus. This approach demonstrates a way to extract very useful and nontrivial information from an untagged corpus, which otherwise would require laborious tagging of large corpora. The paper describes the use of these morpho-lexical probabilities as an information source for morphological disambiguat...

This paper investigates the morpho-syntactic features of bilingual discourse made in blog articles by Chinese students studying in English speaking countries. The identified grammatical patterns of adjective, nominal and verbal constituents with Chinese and English fused together are used to testify and evaluate the Matrix Language hypothesis, which remains the central tenet of Myers-Scotton’s ...

We report on an English-speaking, aphasic individual (TB) who showed a striking dissociation in speaking with the different forms (allomorphs) that an inflection can take. Although very accurate in producing the consonantal inflections (-/s/, -/z/, -/d/, -/t/), TB consistently omitted syllabic inflections (-/əz/, -/əd/), therefore correctly saying "dogs" or "walked," but "bench" for benches or ...

Current paper presents the results of a two-year project during which a consortium of the University of Szeged and the MorphoLogic Ltd. Budapest developed a morpho-syntactically parsed and annotated (disambiguated) corpus for Hungarian. For morpho-syntactic encoding, the Hungarian version of MSD (MorphoSyntactic Description) has been used. The corpus contains texts of five different topic areas...

Over the last twenty years or so, the approaches to partof-speech tagging based on machine learning techniques have been developed or ported to provide high-accuracy morpho-lexical annotation for an increasing number of languages. Given the large number of morpho-lexical descriptors for a morphologically complex language, one has to consider ways to avoid the data sparseness threat in standard ...

The Assamese Sikh, a numerically small population groups living in Nowgong district of Assam was studied for some morpho-genetic and behavioural traits. The percentage frequency of these traits have been compared with available data from the neighbouring populations of Assam.

In the eld of geography, we have beenexamining the contribution of the morpho-genetic rep-resentation to the comprehension of the cycle: reality,representation, model, reality. A distinction is madebetween map and geomap based on the notion of locus-object. 1. Foundations and limits of cartographic rep-

Morpho Challenge 2008 hosted an extrinsic evaluation of morphological analysis that explored whether unsupervised morphology induction could benefit information retrieval. This paper presents results in alternative methods for word normalization using test sets from the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) ad-hoc collections. Preliminary results for the Morpho Challenge 2008 evaluation are co...

When automatically translating from a weakly inflected source language like English to a target language with richer grammatical features such as gender and dual number, the output commonly contains morpho-syntactic agreement errors. To address this issue, we present a target-side, class-based agreement model. Agreement is promoted by scoring a sequence of fine-grained morpho-syntactic classes ...

This paper describes and evaluates a modification to the segmentation model used in the unsupervised morphology induction system, ParaMor. Our improved segmentation model permits multiple morpheme boundaries in a single word. To prepare ParaMor to effectively apply the new agglutinative segmentation model, two heuristics improve ParaMor’s precision. These precision-enhancing heuristics are adap...
