In this study, based on a morpheme segmentation framework, we researched text keyword extraction method for Uyghur, Kazakh and Kirghiz languages, which have similar grammatical lexical structures. these affixes stem are joined together to form word. A is word particle with notional meaning, while the perform functions. Because of derivative properties, vocabularies used languages huge. Therefor...

Grammaticalization is the gradual historical development of function morphemes from content morphemes. Among the commonly identified characteristics of this process is what is often called “semantic bleaching”: while becoming more and more functional the morpheme loses most of its meaning. In this paper, I ask what sense we can make of “semantic bleaching” from a formal semantic perspective. I ...

Previous research shows that two-year-olds’ third person singular -s and plural -s are produced more accurately in utterance-final compared to utterance-medial position. However, only the third person singular is affected by coda complexity. This study explores these effects with possessive -s. Acoustic analysis of twelve two-year-olds’ elicited imitations examined the use of simple versus comp...

It has previously been shown that inconsistency in the early morpheme productions of typically developing (TD) children and those with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) can be partly explained by the phonological complexity of the coda. However, it is not yet known whether TD and SLI children have similar underlying processes of morpheme acquisition. Of particular interest is the reported late...

An automatic method to assign lexical stress in Italian from a written text is presented here. This method is based on specific morphological properties of the Italian morphemes, which can only be stressed on the last or the penul timate syllable. Using a morphological analyzer and a morpheme database, the assignment program attempts to analyze each entry into a morpheme followed by one or more...

One of the first steps in acquiring a morphology system is discovering which phonetic strings correspond to morphemes. These phonetic strings can then be further analyzed in order to determine their grammatical privileges and contribution to meaning and thus to bootstrap into a functional morphology system. Discovering the relevant phonetic strings is a deceptively easy task. Morpheme discovery...

This paper uses Esperanto—a constructed language with transparent morphology but rich semantic-pragmatic components—to study antonymy and polarity. We investigate the distribution of the Esperanto antonymy morpheme ‘mal-’ (as in, for instance, ‘mal-alta’: antonym-tall, short) in a 4.3 million-word corpus, Tekstaro, and use it as an empirical basis to assess different theories of negative antony...
