Derivational morphology links are created for the Wordnet Bahasa, a combined Indonesian and Malay online lexical dictionary (Nurril Hirfana, Suerya, & Bond, 2011). The focus was to link root words to affixed words as affixation is one of the more apparent word formation processes in Bahasa Melayu. MorphInd, an Indonesian morphological analyser (Larasati, Kubon, & Zeman, 2011), is used to breakd...

Psycholinguistic research on the processing of morphologically complex words has largely focused debates about how/if lexical stems are recognized, stored, and retrieved. Comparatively little investigated similar issues for functional affixes. In Word or Lexeme Based Morphology (Aronoff 1994), affixes not representational units par with roots. This view is in stark contrast to claims linguistic...

The paper deals with the processing of Croatian morphology and presents CroDeriV – a newly developed language resource that contains data about morphological structure and derivational relatedness of verbs in Croatian. In its present shape, CroDeriV contains 14 192 Croatian verbs. Verbs in CroDeriV are analyzed for morphemes and segmented into lexical, derivational and inflectional morphemes. T...

This paper describes our current research on the properties of derivational affixation in English. Our research arises from a more general research project, the Lexical Systems project at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research laboratories, the goal for which is to build a variety of computerized dictionary systems for use both by people and by computer programs. An important sub-goal is to build re...

This paper describes in details the first version of Morphonette, a new French morphological resource and a new radically lexeme-based method of morphological analysis. This research is grounded in a paradigmatic conception of derivational morphology where the morphological structure is a structure of the entire lexicon and not one of the individual words it contains. The discovery of this stru...

This paper is an initial explore to Uyghur-Chinese statistical machine translation. Uyghur and Chinese are very different from each other, the former is an agglutinative language with very productive inflectional and derivational word-formation processes, but the characters of the latter are almost hieroglyphics, morpheme processing doesn’t work at all. We integrate Uyghur additional informatio...

Co-occurrence restrictions among affixes are preferably accounted for through GENERAL structural constraints, to do with separations of word-internal domains, with hierarchical rankings of the affixes involved, with processing complexity, or with word-prosodic patterns. Disallowing PARTICULAR designated affixes to combine with one another by (language-particular) stipulation is considered a the...

This chapter surveys the different uses of English participles and discusses their status with respect to distinction between derivation inflection. In debate about whether are verbal or adjectival, indeed a mix two, most scholars have taken position that ability undergo further (with affixes like -ness negative un- for instance) indicates adjectival status. The paper assumes descriptive focus ...
