Lexical and morphological conditioning of paradigm gaps
Although paradigm gaps are an analytical puzzle for all linguistic theories, until recently they have received only sporadic discussion in the literature. Since the advent of Optimality Theory, however, gaps have gradually become the subject of more systematic attention. This is certainly due in part to the particular mechanical challenge that gaps pose for OT; hence, a major focus has been on ...
متن کاملDisentangling lexical, morphological, syntactic and semantic influences on German prominence - Evidence from a production study
The aim of this paper is to examine effects on syllable prominence exerted by word and phrase boundaries, lexical stress, and sentence focus, and by the interactions between these factors. In a production study, German verb prefixes potentially forming prosodic minimal word pairs were systematically placed in a set of different contexts. Acoustic analyses showed a consistent effect of lexical s...
متن کاملMorphological Decomposition for Asr in German
In this contribution we report on our ongoing work in lexical decomposition for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Lexical decomposition is investigated with a twofold goal: lexical coverage optimization and improved automatic letter-tosound conversion. Whereas morphological decomposition is a widely-studied domain in linguistics, our interest is limited here to identifying and processing the ...
متن کاملReadability Classification for German using Lexical, Syntactic, and Morphological Features
We investigate the problem of reading level assessment for German texts on a newly compiled corpus of freely available easy and difficult articles, targeted at adult and child readers respectively. We adapt a wide range of syntactic, lexical and language model features from previous research on English and combined them with new features that make use of the rich morphology of German. We show t...
متن کاملMorphological Constraints on Lexical Access: Gender Priming in German
To investigate how morphological constraints affect lexical access, results of an experiment on grammatical gender priming in German are reported. In a " continuous picture-naming " (CPN) task, large and reliable differences in naming times were found between pictures preceded by gender-congruent contexts and pictures preceded by a zero-gender baseline, suggesting that grammatical gender can fa...
