DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES IN WRITING ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT

A Description of Derivational Affixes in Sarhaddi Balochi of Granchin

Sarhaddi Balochi dialect, a language variety of Western (Rakhshani) Balochi, employs derivation through affixation as one of its word formation processes. The purpose of this article is to present a synchronic description of the way(s) different derivational affixes function in making complex words in Sarhaddi Balochi as spoken in Granchin[1] district located about 35Kms to the southeast of Kha...

Towards a Malay Derivational Lexicon: Learning Affixes Using Expectation Maximization

We propose an unsupervised training method to guide the learning of Malay derivational morphology from a set of morphological segmentations produced by a naı̈ve morphological analyzer. Using a morphology-based language model, we first estimate the probability of a given segmentation. We train the model with EM to find the segmentation that maximizes the probability of each morpheme. We extract t...

A Crash Test with Linguistica in Modern Greek: The Case of Derivational Affixes and Bound Stems

This paper attempts to participate in the ongoing discussion in search of a suitable model for the computational treatment of Greek morphology. Focusing on the unsupervised morphology learning technique, and particularly on the model of Linguistica by Goldsmith (2001), we attempt a computational treatment of specific word formation phenomena in Modern Greek (MG), such as suffixation and compoun...
