Noun and Verb Morphology in Swahili Individuals with Aphasia

Inflectional Morphology Synthesis for Bengali Noun, Pronoun and Verb Systems

Morphological synthesis is an essential part of any natural language generation system. bengali is a highly inflectional language with more than 160 different inflected forms for verbs and 36 different forms for nouns, and 24 different forms for pronouns. Moreover, the choice and ordering of suffixes for nouns and structural changes in verb morphology are dependent on the type (animate/inanimat...

Noun and verb processing in aphasia: Behavioural profiles and neural correlates

Noun-verb dissociation in aphasia: the role of imageability and functional locus of the lesion.

Aphasic patients occasionally manifest a dissociated naming ability between objects and actions: this phenomenon has been interpreted as evidence of a separate organization for nouns and verbs in the mental lexicon. Nevertheless Bird et al. [Bird, H., Howard, D., Franklin, S. (2000). Why is a verb like an inanimate object? Grammatical category and semantic category deficits. BrainandLanguage, 7...

Noun/Verb Inference

We present a system which combines logical inference with a semantic calculus producing normalised semantic representations that are robust to surface di erences which are irrelevant for entailment detection. We focus on the detection of entailment relations between sentence pairs involving noun/verb alternations and we show that the system correctly predicts a range of interactions between bas...

In-depth Exploitation of Noun and Verb Semantics to Identify Causation in Verb-Noun Pairs

Recognition of causality is important to achieve natural language discourse understanding. Previous approaches rely on shallow linguistic features. In this work, we propose to identify causality in verbnoun pairs by exploiting deeper semantics of nouns and verbs. Particularly, we acquire and employ three novel types of knowledge: (1) semantic classes of nouns with a high and low tendency to enc...
