extended abstract 1. introduction repetition is a lingual phenomenon which in various languages and in different frames, has been studied. the whole or part of the base is repeated in this process. hence, in farsi language, repetition is classified by two parts, total and partial. when the base is repeated perfectly, it is called total reduplication and if some part of the base will be repeated...

This research paper investigates the extent to which Jordanian university students majoring in English are aware of different phonetic forms or alternates plural morpheme. The analyzes results taken from 50 fourth-year female and first-year at Princess Alia University College Al-Balqa Applied Amman. They were presented with randomized lists 30 monosyllabic nonsense nouns selected test their awa...

The morpheme analysis module is an important component in natural language processing engines. The parser modules are usually based on rule systems created by human experts. In the paper, a novel approach is tested for implementation of the morpheme analyzer module. The proposed structure is based on the theory of formal concept analysis. The word inflection can be considered as a classificatio...

In this article it will be shown that morpheme length in Lakota obeys a special multimodal distribution resulting from a difference equation of second order. This is due to the particular structure of Lakota syllables, which provide the building blocks for morphemes.

In this work, we announce the Morfessor 1.0 software package, which is a program that takes as input a corpus of raw text and produces a segmentation of the word forms observed in the text. The segmentation obtained often resembles a linguistic morpheme segmentation. In addition, we briefly describe the Hutmegs package, also publicly available for research purposes. Hutmegs contains semi-automa...

We propose a novel lexicon acquirer that works in concert with the morphological analyzer and has the ability to run in online mode. Every time a sentence is analyzed, it detects unknown morphemes, enumerates candidates and selects the best candidates by comparing multiple examples kept in the storage. When a morpheme is unambiguously selected, the lexicon acquirer updates the dictionary of the...

This paper describes an unsupervised dynamic graphical model for morphological segmentation and bilingual morpheme alignment for statistical machine translation. The model extends Hidden Semi-Markov chain models by using factored output nodes and special structures for its conditional probability distributions. It relies on morpho-syntactic and lexical source-side information (part-of-speech, m...

Stemming is a process that groups morphologically related words into the same class and is widely used in information retrieval for improving recall rate. Here we study a set of statistical stemmers for Kannada, a resource-poor language with highly inflectional and agglutinative morphology. We compare stemming using simple truncation, clustering and an unsupervised morpheme segmentation algorit...

This paper describes the work that we did at Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad for FIRE 2012. This year we participated in two tasks: Adhoc Retrieval Task and Morpheme Extraction Task (MET). Within the adhoc task, we participated in two monolingual retrieval activities, namely English and Hindi using Lemur and Indri search engine respectively. We submitted a total of 6 runs (3 in English and Hind...
