This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method using phoneme connectivity and CCV conversion rules. The method consists of mainly four modules including morpheme normalization, phrase-break detection , morpheme to phoneme conversion and phoneme connectivity check. The morpheme normalization is to replace non-Korean symbols into standard Korean graphemes. The phrase-break detector ...

This paper presents the evaluation and results of Competition 2 (information retrieval experiments) in the Morpho Challenge 2008. Competition 1 (a comparison to linguistic gold standard) is described in a companion paper. In Morpho Challenge 2008 the goal was to search and evaluate unsupervised machine learning algorithms that provide morpheme analysis for words in different languages. The morp...

This research investigates three ongoing language changes in Japanese: sa-Insertion, ra-Deletion, and re-Insertion, in light of the “change from above/below” (Labov 1990). Sa-Insertion involves a process, which adds an extra -asto the causative morpheme, yielding a double causative construction (1). Ra-Deletion involves a process which deletes -rain the potential morpheme (2). Re-Insertion invo...

To solve the unknown morpheme problem in Japanese morphological analysis, we previously proposed a novel framework of online unknown morpheme acquisition and its implementation. This framework poses a previously unexplored problem, online unknown morpheme detection. Online unknown morpheme detection is a task of finding morphemes in each sentence that are not listed in a given lexicon. Unlike i...

There are two kinds of sign languages used in Korea. One is Korean Sign Language , which has the identical rules with that of Korean grammar, the other is Korean Natural Sign Language(KnSL), which is actually used by deaf person. KnSL diiers from Korean Language in morpheme characteristics. Therefore, morpheme translation rules must be de-ned rst for translation between these two. So, in this p...

This study investigated whether or not the temporal information encoded in aspectual morphemes can be used immediately by young children to facilitate event recognition during online sentence comprehension. We focused on the contrast between two grammatical aspectual morphemes in Mandarin Chinese, the perfective morpheme -le and the (imperfective) durative morpheme -zhe. The perfective morpheme...

Morpheme frequency effects for derived words (e.g. an influence of the frequency of the base ‘‘dark” on responses to ‘‘darkness”) have been interpreted as evidence of morphemic representation. However, it has been s...

This paper presents the evaluation of Morpho Challenge Competition 1 (linguistic gold standard). The Competition 2 (information retrieval) is described in a companion paper. In Morpho Challenge 2007, the objective was to design statistical machine learning algorithms that discover which morphemes (smallest individually meaningful units of language) words consist of. Ideally, these are basic voc...
