Morphological annotation constitutes essential, very useful and very common linguistic information presented in corpora, especially for highly inflectional languages. The morphological tagset used in the Slovak National Corpus has been designed with several goals in mind – the tags are compact and easily human-readable, without sacrificing their informational contents. The tags consist of ASCII...

The focus of this study is to analyse the characteristic phenomena linguistic variety spoken in Madrid presented manuscript short comedy Los madrileños adoptivos (1790), by Antonio González de León, order determine if these elements can really be known as dialect features that 18th century. For this, firstly, a contextualization work has been carried out, which allows us understand its uniquene...

In this study, we investigated whether different morphosyntactic features, i.e. number and gender, play a role during the adult online comprehension of subject relative clauses (SRC) object (ORC), in Italian. This study was inspired by developmental studies showing that children struggle with ORC compared to SRC; yet, improves if head RC mismatch relevant features (e.g. but not gender Italian, ...

Agreement attraction, where ungrammatical sentences are perceived as grammatical (e.g., *The key to the cabinets were rusty), has been influential in motivating models of memory access during language comprehension. It is contested, however, whether such effects arise due a faulty representation relevant morphosyntactic features, or result retrieval. Existing studies agreement attraction compre...

This paper describes a system to define and evaluate development stages in second language French. The identification of such stages can be formulated as determining the frequency of some lexical and grammatical features in the learners’ production and how they vary over time. The problems in this procedure are threefold: identify the relevant features, decide on cutoff points for the stages, a...

A less discussed point — though equally evident — is that Russian prefixes and prepositions cannot be unified as a class on the basis of their morphosyntactic characteristics. The theoretical aim of the present work is to resolve the apparent contradiction between the phonological unity and the morphosyntactic disunity of these two categories, by proposing a Stratal Optimality Theoretic approac...

“... an inflected word’s association with its morphosyntactic feature specifications is logically prior to the spelling out of its inflectional markings, since it is this very association that determines the sequence of operations by which those markings are introduced; the realizational approach thus entails a rejection of the assumption that a word’s morphosyntactic feature content is built c...
