In some languages, gender is a grammatical property of the noun. Grammatical gender identification enhances machine translation of such languages. This paper reports a three staged approach for grammatical gender identification that makes use of word and morphological features only. A Morphological Analyzer is used to extract the morphological features. In stage one, association rule mining is ...

BACKGROUND The grammatical class effect in aphasia, i.e. dissociated processing of words according to their respective grammatical class, has been attributed to either grammatical, lexical or semantic (i.e., imageability) deficits. This study explores the hypotheses of impaired semantic treatment as the source of the grammatical class effect in aphasia. METHOD A synonym judgement task that in...

This paper describes Parallel Grammatical Evolution (PGE) that can be together with clustering used for a improvement of the throughput of computer networks. To increase the efficiency of Grammatical Evolution (GE) the influence of backward processing was tested. The significance of backward coding (BC) and the comparison with standard coding of GEs is presented. BC can speed up Grammatical Evo...

The Markovian nature follows readily from a mechanistic view, where complete knowledge of a system and sufficient computational resources will allow us to determine the state of the system – or distribution over possible states for stochastic systems – at any given point in the future. Markovian need not progress in time, in fact, for many bioinformatics applications the progression will be in ...

6 This paper critically explores the question of what it means for a 7 construction to be grammatical. The paper engages with some of the 8 observations made in the grammaticalisation literature that elements in 9 grammatical constructions undergo morphologization, and aims to show 10 that grammatical status and morphologization need not be aligned. A 11 number of parameters along which the gra...

In an artificial grammar learning (AGL) experiment, participants were trained with instances of one grammatical structure before completing a test phase in which they were required to discriminate grammatical from randomly created strings. Importantly, the underlying structure used to generate test strings was different from that used to generate the training strings. Despite the fact that gram...

The dominant morphological models developed in the modern period can both trace their origins to ancient Indo-European grammatical traditions. Bloomfieldian models have their ultimate roots in the Sanskrit grammatical tradition, particularly as represented in the work of Pān ̇ ini. These models adopt a formative-based perspective in which the central analytical task of morphology involves the di...

There is a rich history, dating back, according to Heine (2003), at least to observations in the 18th century by Condillac (1746) and Horne Tooke (1857) (first published 1786), if not earlier, associated with the study of the phenomenon of grammaticalization, i.e. how grammatical elements arise out of less (or non-) grammatical elements. 1 Still, only in the past twenty-five or so years has it ...
