There are two main sources by which a child could learn language-particular phonological rules or constraints: segment distribution data and allomorphy. That is, seeing which phones appear in which phonetic contexts can give some initial clues toward the phonotactics of a language, and then seeing how morphemes alternate in phonetic form based on morpho-phonological context can fill in the rest...

Background When reading a word, skilled adult readers automatically decompose the word into its separate morphemes by processing word's morpho-orthography. In children, however, it still remains unclear when and how they start to words morphemes. Methods To better understand primary school children learn integrate automatic morphological processes their reading, we conducted masked priming expe...

Geomorphometry of headwater catchments has been poorly reported in the Central-Eastern Pyrenees. This study presents a series of parameters obtained for Central-Eastern Pyrenean headwater catchments. The database consists of 3005 1and 655 2-order catchments. These catchments have been digitalised, identified, and attributed a value for each parameter. The parameters investigated are divided int...

Lineage persistence is as central to biology as evolutionary change. Important questions regarding persistence include: why do some lineages outlive their relatives, neither becoming extinct nor evolving into separate lineages? Do these long-duration lineages have distinctive ecological or morphological traits that correlate with their geologic durations and potentially aid their survival? In t...

In this paper, we develop a new generative paradigm with which to capture phonological generalizations. Our framework differs from standard generative frameworks inasmuch as we eschew all derivational analyses. Thus, we dispense with procedural transformations of underlying and intermediate representations into surface forms by means of the cyclic application of relatively unconstrained context...

The method of breakpoint-match-tracing is a new numerical simulation one to reconstruct the fault deformation process in three-dimensional space. This method, however, based on the spatial data relationship of three dimensional geological bodies, will reconstruct their original relationship result from using match path to trace the breakpoint and computation. Through picking up the breakpoint i...

The ordered, lamellae-structured ridges on the wing scales of Morpho butterflies give rise to their striking blue iridescence by multilayer interference and grating diffraction. At the same time, the random offsets among the ridges broaden the directional multilayer reflection peaks and the grating diffraction peaks that the color appears the same at various viewing angles, contrary to the very...

In this paper, we investigate the role of morphology in phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT) from English to the highly inflectional Slovenian language. Translation to an inflectional language is a challenging task because of its morphological complexity. Rich morphology increases data sparsity and worsens the quality of statistical machine translation. The idea of the paper is to...
