This study aims to analyze the derivational and inflection affixation processes in article entitled "The Government of The Republic Indonesia". author also describes that occurs sentences or words contained article. To make it easier see inflectional affixations, authors use a table determine each process found. explores English experience processes. source data studied is written text, so this...

sarhaddi balochi dialect, a language variety of western (rakhshani) balochi, employs derivation through affixation as one of its word formation processes. the purpose of this article is to present a synchronic description of the way(s) different derivational affixes function in making complex words in sarhaddi balochi as spoken in granchin[1] district located about 35kms to the southeast of kha...

This paper presents a supervised machine learning approach to incrementally learn and segment affixes using generic background knowledge. We used Prolog script to split an affix from the Amharic word for further morphological analysis. Amharic, a Semitic language, has very complex inflectional and derivational verb morphology, with many possible prefixes and suffixes which are used to show vari...

This mini-corpus, cross-linguistic, comparative, and norm-referenced study intends to render the most frequently and oft-used affixes in the written descriptive tasks in the performance of English language materials developers (ELMDs) and Iranian English language undergraduates (IELUs). Samples of writings of both groups were studied and analyzed through affixation principles. The frequency of ...

There is a longstanding debate about how to appropriately model the combinability of affixes, especially English suffixes. One widely accepted principle is the notion of so-called selectional restrictions, i.e. grammatical requirements of particular affixes. For example, the suffix -ness can only combine with adjectival bases. Hay (2002) proposed a psycholinguistic approach to affix ordering no...

In standard generative approaches, word-formation rules contain, among other things, information on the semantics of the suffix and the syntactic category (or word-class) of possible bases. Based on the general assumption that word-class specification of the input is a crucial ingredient of derivational morphology, far-reaching claims have been made. For example, the unitary base hypothesis (Ar...

Most natural language processing tasks require lexical semantic information. Automated acquisition of this information would thus increase the robustness and portability of NLP systems. This paper describes an acquisition method which makes use of fixed correspondences between derivational affixes and lexical semantic information. One advantage of this method, and of other methods that rely onl...

To add to WordNet's contents, and specifically to aid automatic reasoning with WordNet, we classify and label the current relations among derivationally and semantically related noun-verb pairs. Manual inspection of thousands of pairs shows that there is no one-to-one mapping of form and meaning for derivational affixes, which exhibit far less regularity than expected. We determine a set of sem...
