This paper describes an alternative formalism for Thai syntax parsing based on a lexicalized tree adjoining grammar (LTAG). We first briefly present some formal background concerning LTAG, which is necessary for an understanding of LTAG and its application to Thai. Specifically, we address several issues regarding difficulties in parsing Thai sentences and how to resolve these issues using LTAG...

This paper presents a supervised machine learning approach to morphological analysis of Amharic verbs. We use Inductive Logic Programming (ILP), implemented in CLOG. CLOG learns rules as a first order predicate decision list. Amharic, an under-resourced African language, has very complex inflectional and derivational verb morphology, with four and five possible prefixes and suffixes respectivel...

An examination of the Lushootseed phonological phrase reveals ahighly regular pattern of phrase-formation based on the status of lexicalelements as clitics or phonological words. Phrase-structure is reminis-cent of syllable-structure in that phrases consist of a nucleus (a singlephonological word) and an onset (a clitic); phrasal codas are ruled out,clitics following a word ...

Numerous studies on Arabic linguistics make reference to the phonological word (PW) as a constituent that serves domain for various phenomena, however, there is no clear and precise definition in literature of what actually constitutes PW whether it consists just bare morphological stem or includes affixes well. The purpose this paper gain better understanding status Najdi (NA), variety spoken ...

From a phonological point of view, morphological words, i.e. syntactic atoms, do not necessarily behave as a unit. For instance, derivational affixes and compound members can be treated independently by phonological word-level rules. The prosodic word has been defined in order to account for the non-isomorphy between morphology and phonology. Prosodic words are typically characterized as being ...

We live in a translingual society, in order to communicate with people from different parts of the world we need to have an expertise in their respective languages. Learning all these languages is not at all possible; therefore we need a mechanism which can do this task for us. Machine translators have emerged as a tool which can perform this task. In order to develop a machine translator we ne...

Automatic indexing systems use suffix stripping algorithms to cluster various words derived from a common root under the same stem. Currently, removing affixes to either a context-free or context-sensitive operation, where the context refers to the remaining stem. In this article, we propose a suffixing algorithm which uses grammatical categories to enhance the stemming process. This approach s...

This study aims to describe the affixation of Madurese verbs in Pamekasan dialect low speech level based on perspective derivation and inflexion. The data this research is form verbs. sources were 10 informants who native speakers Madura dialect, which determined using snowball sampling technique. Data collection done by interview method with elicitation techniques. obtained then analyzed throu...

This article has two goals: descriptive and theoretical. On the side, presents a grammar of gliding epenthesis Upper Sorbian. The goal is worthy because Sorbian highly complex but regular productive system epenthesis. stands out from typological point view it ten [ sic ] different strategies to satisfy O nset . theoretical question whether Optimality Theory that been designed solve conspiracies...

Abstract Morphological awareness has been shown to contribute the acquisition of literacy in various languages. The current study focuses on an explicit derivational morphology training program French-speaking fourth graders with aim measuring direct effects morphological and transfer spelling reading. intensive given class consisted (1) learning how segment words into smaller units (2) underst...
