Mapping dissociations in verb morphology.

Substantial behavioural and neuropsychological evidence has been amassed to support the dual-route model of morphological processing, which distinguishes between a rule-based system for regular items (walk-walked, call-called) and an associative system for the irregular items (go-went). Some neural-network models attempt to explain the neuropsychological and brain-mapping dissociations in terms...

Machine Learning Disambiguation of Quechua Verb Morphology

We have implemented a rule-based prototype of a Spanish-to-Cuzco Quechua MT system enhanced through the addition of statistical components. The greatest difficulty during the translation process is to generate the correct Quechua verb form in subordinated clauses. The prototype has several rules that decide which verb form should be used in a given context. However, matching the context in orde...

Finite-state Composition of French Verb Morphology

This paper gives a novel account of French verb morphology as a composition of nite-state constraints. It consists of a cascade of transductions, each one dedicated to a speciic and linguistically motivated task. Each transducer expresses a number of linguistic generalizations that can be shared between various in-ectional paradigms, traditionally classiied separately. The sequence of ordered t...

Processing Russian inflectional morphology: a PET study of verb generation

For many years, acquisition of verbal morphology has been an issue of much debate within linguistic theory, research on first and second language acquisition, mental grammar representation, and cognitive processing. The proponents of the Dual Mechanism account claim that regularly inflected forms are computed by a ruleprocessing system, while morphologically irregular forms are processed in ass...
