This paper investigates an inference (which we call cessation) that no state of the kind described currently holds. We propose that this inference occurs in a sentence φ when: (a) φ has stative verb in the past tense and (b) there is a present tense alternative to φ that shares a common reference time concept and is not vacuously false. We show how (a) and (b) correlate with the availability of...

This paper studies and evaluates disambiguation strategies for the translation of tense between German and English, using a bilingual corpus of appointment scheduling dialogues. It describes a scheme to detect complex verb predicates based on verb form subcategorization and grammatical knowledge. The extracted verb and tense information is presented and the role of different context factors is ...

How regular and irregular verbs are processed remains a matter of debate. Some English-speaking patients with nonfluent aphasia are especially impaired on regular past-tense forms like played, whether the task requires production, comprehension or even the judgement that "play" and "played" sound different. Within a dual-mechanism account of inflectional morphology, these deficits reflect disru...

Researchers have long known that children variably produce grammatical morphemes in spontaneous speech (e.g., Brown, 1973). Thus, a given child on a given day may supply a determiner (such as the article a or the) or a tense morpheme (such as the past tense marker –t/d) in some utterances but not in others. This has typically led researchers to propose that children’s syntactic representations ...

The Tamil IT! (Interactive Translation) speech translation system is intended to allow unsophisticated users to communicate across the Tamil ↔ English language barrier, without strong domain restrictions, despite the error prone nature of current speech and translation technologies. Achieving this ambitious goal depends in large part on allowing the users to interactively correct recognition an...

This study examines the perfective past tense of Greek in an elicited production and an acceptability judgment task testing 35 adult native speakers and 154 children in six age groups (age range: 3 ; 5 to 8 ; 5) on both existing and novel verb stimuli. We found a striking contrast between sigmatic and non-sigmatic perfective past tense forms. Sigmatic forms (which have a segmentable perfective ...

Standard Dutch and German have two reflexive forms: a weak form (zich in Dutch and sich in German) and a strong form (zichzelf in Dutch and sich selbst in German). The choice between the two reflexive forms in Dutch has been explained by the selectional restrictions of the verb, distinguishing between three verb classes: inherently reflexive verbs, accidentally reflexive verbs and transitive ve...

Recently there has been a large literature on various approaches to learning morphology, and the success and cognitive plausibility of different approaches (Rumelhart and McClelland (1986), MacWhinney and Leinbach (1991) arguing for connectionist models, Pinker and Prince (1988), Lachter and Bever (1988), Marcus et al. (1992) arguing against connectionist models, Ling and Marinov (1993), Ling (...
