Frequency is known to play a crucial role in lexical access. The notions primarily discussed in the literature are form frequency, (whole) word frequency and morpheme frequency, e.g. root frequency. In numerous studies (Alegre & Gordon, 1999; Baayen & al. 2007, a.m.o.), these characteristics were manipulated to find out whether various word forms are decomposed during lexical access or are stor...

The aim of this journal article is to study recursivity in terms of morphological process feeding in the formation of Old English, thus dealing with the relationship that holds among the major lexical creation processes of affixation (suffixation and prefixation), compounding and zero-derivation. The analysis is based on the ascription of each of the predicates to one of the morphological proce...

In this article we present the realization of a generic finite-state system. The system has been used to create concrete lexical tools for word form analysis, word form generation, creation and derivation history, and spenchecking. It will also be used to create a finite-state transducer for the recognition of phrases. Producing a finitestate component with the generic system requires little e~...

This paper deals with lemmatization technique and its using for the phonetic transcription of exceptional words. The lemmatizer is based on language morphology and uses the lexicon of word basic forms and inversion of the derivation rules to acquire the lemmatization rules which are essential for finding the word bases. We have described the lemmatization algorithm and necessary modifications o...

We present a Markov part-of-speech tagger for which the P (w|t) emission probabilities of word w given tag t are replaced by a linear interpolation of tag emission probabilities given a list of representations of w. As word representations, string suffixes of w are cut off at the local maxima of the Normalized Backward Successor Variety. This procedure allows for the derivation of linguisticall...

In Stratal OT, morphology and phonology are stratified and interleaved, as in traditional Lexical Phonology (Mohanan 1986), but the strata (Stem, Word, Postlexical) are characterized by systems of parallel constraints. The output of each morphological operation is submitted to the phonological constraints on its stratum: stems must satisfy the stem phonology, words must satisfy the word phonolo...

The article on the material of neosemanticisms in modern Ukrainian language examines process expanding meaning words, which consists using word relation to a larger range objects. In expansion, generalized semes are usually introduced into structure denotation, leads decrease semantic composition derivative compared original value. is based genus-species concepts. Several models characteristic ...

We first reconsider the role of lexicographers in word-sense disambiguation as a computational task, as providers of both legacy material (dictionaries) and special test material for competitions like SENSEVAL. We suggest that the standard fine-grained division of senses and (larger) homographs by a lexicographer for use by a human reader may not be an appropriate goal for the computational WSD...

1. Introduction The position in which an argument is projected is usually assumed to be determined strictly by conditions of the computational system (X-bar theory) and the LF interface (Θ-theory). We will argue that these systems, although they obviously restrict the distribution of arguments, still allow in many cases a range of positions in which a given argument can be generated (merged). I...
