“Defaults” and Morphological Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
Other authors represented in the present volume are primarily concerned with the question of how default notions in morphological structure should be expressed. e present chapter takes a somewhat different approach, attempting to characterize the notion of morphological “default” from the other direction by investigating the range of phenomena in morphology that deviate from the default and thereby introduce structural complexity. So what do we mean by a “default”? Standard references focus on senses related to a “failure to fulfill an obligation,” which is probably not relevant to morphological structure. Wikipedia comes a bit closer with one of its senses:

Hierarchical Defaults in Specifications
The goal of this paper is to explain the usage and semantics of hierarchical defaults in logical specifications. We discuss the usefulness of defaults for different specification scenarios like specialization, aggregation, explanation, revision, etc. To understand defaults formally, we introduce a general framework parameterized on the underlying logical institution extended by an instantiation...

متن کاملCooperating Constructions in Lai “Lexical Insertion”
In this paper we investigate the factors conditioning a morphological alternation on verbal heads in Lai. We show that this alternation eludes a simple characterization and instead exhibits a many-to-many form–function mapping. We will further show that the facts can be given a straightforward analysis in terms of default conditions based on valence and polarity, together with various construct...
متن کاملThermal Oxidation Times Effect on Structural and Morphological Properties of Molybdenum Oxide Thin Films Grown on Quartz Substrates
Molybdenum oxide (α-MoO)thin films were prepared on quartz and silicon substrates by thermal oxidation of Mo thin films deposited using DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of thermal oxidation times ranging from 60-240 min on the structural and morphological properties of the preparedfilms was investigated using X-ray diffraction, Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared...
متن کاملHuman Reasoning with Negative Defaults
This paper examines psychological data on human reasoning with sets of negative defaults. A negative default is a statement of the form: Xs are typically not Ys. While there is pragmatic motivation for chaining positive defaults, chaining negative defaults (concluding from, As are typically not Bs and Bs are typically Cs that As are typically not Cs) is far less reasonable. Default inheritance ...
