This paper deals with vowel length in Friulian, and shows that this is sometimes phonologically predictable an instance of mora affixation conjugation 1 verbs. Building on newly collected data verbal morphology, we make the hypothesis Theme morpheme verbs dialect Negrons has distinct allomorphs, among which a mora. analysis morphological Friulian there no need for morphome-based data. In our an...

Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language and there are a few works in the on nexus between male female naming patterns with reference to their morphosemantic analysis. With affixation of single vocabulary item, name changed into name. Sometimes, derived from null affixation. The present research theoretical study that highlights interprets features names names. data for analysis have been taken dictionar...

Kim, Hyung-Soo. 2006. Underlying Bases for Reduplicated and Sound Symbolic Words in Korean: The so-called emphatic suffixation revisited. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 31-2, 207-232. This paper reanalyzes the so-called emphatic suffixation in Korean, with a focus on the base and suffixal forms used in previous analyses. Jun (1994) analyzes these cases under his rule of Metrical Weight Consiste...

Neologism dictionaries celebrate the influence of science and technology on language – how scientists and technologists add to the stock of words, and occasionally, add new grammatical structures. There are two claims made in the literature on neologisms: First, that borrowings, from classical languages and ‘prestige’ languages are widespread in the science and technology literature. Second tha...

In this work, we address the deciphering of semantic relations between terms in order to build structured terminologies. We study particularly the contribution of morphological clues. Among linguistic operations proposed by the morphology, we analyze affixation and suppletion. We show interpretative schemata emerging from morphologically formed lexemes and corresponding terminological relations...

We present a novel approach to the unsupervised detection of affixes, that is, to extract a set of salient prefixes and suffixes from an unlabeled corpus of a language. The underlying theory makes no assumptions on whether the language uses a lot of morphology or not, whether it is prefixing or suffixing, or whether affixes are long or short. It does however make the assumption that 1. salient ...

The theory of level-ordering proposes that word formation processes are assigned to one of three levels within the lexicon. Level 1 processes are applied before Level 2, which are applied before Level 3. Such ordering constraints predict differences in acceptability between pairs such as teeth marks versus *claws marks, and Darwinianism versus *Darwinismian. An acquisition model is examined in ...
