Learnability and generalisation of Arabic broken plural nouns
The noun plural system in Modern Standard Arabic lies at a nexus of critical issues in morphological learnability. The suffixing "sound" plural competes with as many as 31 non-concatenative "broken" plural patterns. Our computational analysis of singular-plural pairs in the Corpus of Contemporary Arabic explores what types of linguistic information are statistically relevant to morphological ge...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Arabic Broken Plural and Diminutive
This paper demonstrates how the challenging problem of the Arabic broken plurals and diminutive can be handled under a multi-tape two-level model, an extension to two-level morphology.

This process is characterized by vowel deletion followed by vowel insertion. Evidence from present-day dialects, mainly Lebane...
متن کاملMass nouns and plural logic
A dilemma put forward by Schein (1993) and Rayo (2002) suggests that, in order to characterize the semantics of plurals, we should not use predicate logic, but plural logic, a formal language whose terms may refer to several things at once. We show that a similar dilemma applies to mass nouns. If we use predicate logic and sets when characterizing their semantics, we arrive at a Russellian para...
متن کاملA Corpus Based Approach for the Automatic Creation of Arabic Broken Plural Dictionaries
Research has shown that Arabic broken plurals constitute approximately 10% of the content of Arabic texts. Detecting Arabic broken plurals and mapping them to their singular forms is a task that can greatly affect the performance of information retrieval, annotation or tagging tasks, and many other text mining applications. It has been reported that the most effective way of detecting broken pl...
