Prosodic cues for morphological complexity in Dutch and English
Previous work has shown that Dutch listeners use prosodic information in the speech signal to optimise morphological processing: Listeners are sensitive to prosodic differences between a noun stem realised in isolation and a noun stem realised as part of a plural form (in which the stem is followed by an unstressed syllable). The present study, employing a lexical decision task, provides an add...
متن کاملProsodic Inheritance And Morphological Generalisations
Prosodic Inheritance (PI) morphology provides uniform treatment of both concatenative and non-concatenative morphological and phonological generalisations using default inheritance. Models of an extensive range of German Umlaut and Arabic intercalation facts, implemented in DATR, show that the PI approach also covers 'hard cases' more homogeneously and more extensively than previous computation...
متن کاملThe Parameterized Complexity of Maximality and Minimality Problems
Many parameterized problems (as the clique problem or the dominating set problem) ask, given an instance and a natural number k as parameter, whether there is a solution of size k. We analyze the relationship between the complexity of such a problem and the corresponding maximality (minimality) problem asking for a solution of size k maximal (minimal) with respect to set inclusion. As our resul...
متن کاملQuantifying and Measuring Morphological Complexity
It is a standard assumption in Linguistics that all human languages are equally (and enormously) complex; when looked at as a whole, no language can be called “simpler” than another. Certainly, languages can differ in the distribution of their complexity, so that one might employ a richer inflectional system, or entertain a more complicated gamut of syllable shapes than another, but it is gener...
