Resource-Light Acquisition of Inflectional Paradigms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a resource-light acquisition of morphological paradigms and lexicon for fusional languages. It builds upon Paramor [10], an unsupervised system, by extending it: (1) to accept a small seed of manually provided word inflections with marked morpheme boundary; (2) to handle basic allomorphic changes acquiring the rules from the seed and/or from previously acquired paradigms. The algorithm has been tested on Czech and Slovene tagged corpora and has shown increased F-measure in comparison with the Paramor baseline.

Automatic Lexical Acquisition for German Based on Morphological Paradigms Diploma Thesis Proposal
The general aim of my diploma thesis is to develop a (semi-)automatic method for the acquisition of a German inflectional lexicon from raw texts. In particular, I want to explore whether inflectional stems can be deduced from word-form occurences that fit into known morphological paradigm classes.
متن کاملRunning Head : THE MULTIPLE INFLECTION GENERATOR
The next challenge for connectionist models of the acquisition of inflectional morphology (IM) is to increase their generality: across inflectional paradigms, across grammatical classes, and ultimately across languages. We present a new model of IM that draws together elements of several existing connectionist models and which acquires multiple inflectional paradigms across three grammatical cl...
متن کاملLanguage Learning ISSN 0023-8333 Introduction. Beyond the Obvious: Do Second Language Learners Process Inflectional Morphology?
Given that this special issue is devoted to the acquisition and processing of inflectional morphology by second language (L2) learners, the question in the title may appear redundant. However, recent research on first language (L1) and L2 morphological processing has challenged basic assumptions about the status of inflectional morphology in linguistic processing that had long been taken for gr...
متن کاملAssigning Inflectional Paradigms to Named Entities by Linear Successive Abstraction
This paper describes how a supervised learning method is used for assigning inflectional paradigms to organizational named entities as the main prerequisite for generating a morphological lexicon of these entities. An inflectional paradigm consists of a set of rules for generating all forms of a lexicon entry. A morphological lexicon consists of lexicon entries and their corresponding forms. Th...
متن کاملLexical emergentism and the "frequency-by-regularity" interaction
In spite of considerable converging evidence of the role of inflectional paradigms in word acquisition and processing, little efforts have been put so far into providing detailed, algorithmic models of the interaction between lexical token frequency, paradigm frequency, paradigm regularity. We propose a neurocomputational account of this interaction, and discuss some theoretical implications of...
