Combining Phonology and Morphology for the Normalization of Historical Texts

This paper presents a proposal for the normalization of word-forms in historical texts. To perform this task, we extend our previous research on induction of phonology and adapt it to the task of normalization. In particular, we combine our earlier models with models for learning morphology (without additional supervision). The results are mixed: induction of the segmentation of morphemes fails...

The impact of word-end phonology and morphology on stuttering.

This paper investigates whether stuttering rates in English-speaking adults and children are influenced by phonological and morphological complexity at the ends of words. The phonology of English inflection is such that morphological and phonological complexity are confounded, and previous research has indicated that phonological complexity influences stuttering. Section 1 of this paper conside...

Language deficits in dyslexic children: speech perception, phonology, and morphology.

We investigated the relationship between dyslexia and three aspects of language: speech perception, phonology, and morphology. Reading and language tasks were administered to dyslexics aged 8-9 years and to two normal reader groups (age-matched and reading-level matched). Three dyslexic groups were identified: phonological dyslexics (PD), developmentally language impaired (LI), and globally del...
