This study set out to examine the effects of a morpheme-based training on reading and spelling in fifth and sixth graders (N = 47), who present poor literacy skills and speak German as a second language. A computerized training, consisting of a visual lexical decision task (comprising 2,880 items, presented in 12 sessions), was designed to encourage fast morphological analysis in word processin...

This article introduces a novel approach to model phonology and morphosyntax in morpheme unit based speech recognizers. The proposed method is evaluated in our recent Hungarian large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system. The architecture of the recognition system is based on the weighted finite state transducer (WFST) paradigm. The task domain is the recognition of fluently r...

In this study, we investigated automatic translation from English to Chinese and subsequent morphological decomposition of translated Chinese compounds. In two lexical decision tasks, Chinese-English bilinguals responded to English target words that were preceded by masked unrelated primes presented for 59 ms. Unbeknownst to participants, the Chinese translations of the words in each critical p...

This is third year of participation from Indian School of Mines Dhanbad at FIRE. At FIRE-2013, we have participated in Morpheme Extraction Task (MET).In MET,we submitted a morpheme extraction tool which takes input a single file of documents in any language and produces a twocolumn file listing words in the language and their corresponding stemmed root words.

In Korean writing, a space is placed between two adjacent word-phrases, each of which generally corresponds to two or three words in English in a semantic sense. If the word-phrase is used as a recognition unit for Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR), the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) rate becomes very large. If a morpheme or a syllable is used instead, a severe inter-morphe...

Students' vocabulary knowledge is related to their morphological awareness, which plays an essential role in word comprehension and development. This case study aimed at describing undergraduate students’ awareness difficulties morpheme identification relationship. employed the MAT test two analytical tests. The Morpheme Identification Test used measure how well first-year college students can ...

In this paper, we report on our use of zero morphemes in Unification-Based Combinatory Categorial Grammar. After illustrating the benefits of this approach with several examples, we describe the algorithm for compiling zero morphemes into unary rules, which allows us to use zero morphemes more efficiently in natural language processing. 1 Then, we discuss the question of equivalence of a gramma...
