Morphological analysis is concerned with retrieving the syntactic and morphological properties or the meaning of a morphologically complex word. Morphological analysis retrieves the grammatical features and properties of an inflected word. However, this paper introduces the design and implementation of a Morphological Analyzer for Kokborok, a resource constrained and less computerized Indian la...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the relation between morphological awareness on reading comprehension is moderated by multisyllabic word reading ability in fifth-grade students (N = 169, 53.7% female, 65.2% minority status, 69.2% free/reduced lunch status), oversampled for poor reading skill, when controlling for general knowledge and vocabulary. Based on the lexical qualit...

The aim of this study was to explore the relative contributions of phonological, semantic radical, and morphological awareness to Chinese word recognition in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. Measures of word recognition, general intelligence, phonological, semantic radical, and morphological awareness were administered to 32 DHH and 35 hearing children in Hong Kong. Hierarchical regress...

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is the process of assigning each word of an input text into an appropriate morphological class. Automatic recognition of parts-of-speech is very important for high level NLP applications, since it would be usually infeasible to perform this task manually in practical systems. One approach to POS tagging uses morphological disambiguation which selects the most suitab...

Deep learning techniques aim at obtaining high-quality distributed representations of words, i.e., word embeddings, to address text mining and natural language processing tasks. Recently, efficient methods have been proposed to learn word embeddings from context that captures both semantic and syntactic relationships between words. However, it is challenging to handle unseen words or rare words...

One of the most refined techniques for investigating morphological processing in word recognition is the variant of the lexical decision task known as repetition priming (Stanners, Neiser, Hernon, & Hall 1979). It provides a primary source of evidence, according to Henderson (1989), of facilitation between words formed from the same morpheme (i.e., morphological relatives). Generally, target (s...

Evidence of morphological processing was investigated in three word recognition tasks. In the first study, phonological ambiguity of the base morpheme in morphologically complex words of Serbo-Croatian was exploited in order to evaluate the claim that the base morpheme serves as the unit by which entries in the lexicon are accessed. An interaction of base morpheme ambiguity and affix characteri...
