Previous theories of past-tense verb inflection have considered phonological and grammatical information to be the only relevant factors in the inflection process (e.g. Bybee & Moder, 1983; Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986; Kim, Pinker, Prince & Prasada, 1991). This paper presents three experiments that show that semantic information plays a decisive role in determining the inflection of both exist...

the concept of tense is an important issue in the morphological and syntactic analysis of words and sentences. the connection between this concept and other parts of the sentence, including the verb, and understanding its structural, semantic and conceptual differences has always been considered by russian and persian linguists. in this article, various types of direct and figurative applicatio...

We consider the representation and processing of the English verb features tense, aspect and voice, within a computational cognitive model of human language processing. We assume that a collection of features is associated with each verbal element and that these features may project to the clauses in which they occur. When multiple verbal elements occur, it is possible for the features to confl...

This work reports on three human tense annotation experiments for Chinese verbs in Chinese-to-English translation scenarios. The results show that inter-annotator agreement increases as the context of the verb under the annotation becomes increasingly specified, i.e. as the context moves from the situation in which the target English sentence is unknown to the situation in which the target lexi...

Starting from the finding that currently phonological models of visual word processing predominate, we examined what happened when important morphological information is disclosed in the orthography but not in the phonology. To do so, we made use of a peculiarity in Dutch. In this language, some forms of the present and the past tense of verbs are homophones or homographs. This allowed us to lo...

Automatic Machine Translations from one to another language have been the subject of great attention of computational linguistics for many years. In EnglishHindi Machine Translation, verb tuning is a vital operation. Present paper is an approach to describe easy English-Hindi verb phrase mapping. This work results satisfactory in Machine Translation over type of English sentences. It is observe...

In the following subsections we examine various properties of passives in which Danish, English, and German differ. We look at the morphological passive in Danish in Section 1.1, compare the personal and impersonal pas-sives in the three languages in Section 1.2, examine the possibility to promote the objects in passives of ditransi-tive constructions in Section 1.3. 1.1 Morphological and Analy...

This study describes how young Spanish-speaking children become gradually more adept at encoding temporality using grammar and discourse skills in intra-conversational narratives. The research involved parallel case studies of two Spanish-speaking children followed longitudinally from ages two to three. Type/token frequencies of verb tense, temporal/aspectual markers and narrative components we...
