Motivating Morpho-Syntactic Changes in Turkic Subordinations

Parallel Morpho - Syntactic Constraints in European Portuguese

1 Abstract In this paper I shall propose an account of morphosyntactic phenomena like European Por-tuguese (hence: EP) cliticization in terms of interacting morphophonological and surface-syntactic constraints. In particular, I suggest that mor-phophonological constraints are partially under-speciied with respect to morpheme linearization, information that will be added monotonically by surface...

A morpho-syntactic approach to pronominal binding

In this paper, I propose that the availability of a bound variable reading for pronouns is predictable from their morphological structure of the pronouns. More specifically I argue that noun-containing pronouns cannot be bound variables. My proposal is different from D&W's (2002) argument in that in their theory, every DPs cannot have a bound variable reading, while in my theory, even DPs can h...

A Morpho-Syntactic Analyzer of Controlled Japanese

The proposed morpho-syntactic analyzer parses controlled Japanese texts such as articles in newspapers, technical magazines and professional journals and public documents that are transcribed wherever applicable by using Joyo Kanji (frequently used Chinese characters). The analyzer parses sentences in controlled Japanese texts into morpho-syntactic units, further dividing them into the content ...

Improving SMT quality with morpho-syntactic analysis

In the framework of statistical machine translation (SMT), correspondences between the words in the source and the target language are learned from bilingual corpora on the basis of so-called alignment models. Many of the statistical systems use little or no linguistic knowledge to structure the underlying models. In this paper we argue that training data is typically not large enough to suÆcie...
