This paper presents a morphological analyzer that accepts Filipino verbs conjugated in different forms as inputs and analyzes them to produce the affixes used, the infinitive forms, and the tenses of the original input verbs. A prototype system was implemented and was fed with a file containing 1,050 Filipino verbs conjugated in various tenses using different types of affixes. The preliminary r...

features like [past] are provided with phonological material is called Vocabulary Insertion. In the case of Irregular verbs, the choice of affix, either -Ø or -t, is determined by the identity of the verb. That is, the affixes -Ø and -t, for e.g. hit hit-Ø and bend ben-t, are each specified for a list of the verbs on which they will appear. The insertion of the particular affixes -ed, -t, -Ø fo...

In Tagalog each verb stem v can combine with a certain number of voice affixes(VA). Traditionally, these affixes (actor voice affixes: ‘um-’, ‘mag-’; objective voice affixes: ‘-in’, ‘-an’, ‘i-’) have been said to identify the semantic role of the nominative argument (subject) of the sentence. Yet, as data taken from English 1997 show, they determine the aspectual interpretation of the verb.Thes...

First-order applicative term rewriting systems provide a natural framework for modeling higher-order aspects. In earlier work we introduced an uncurrying transformation which is termination preserving and reflecting. In this paper we investigate how this transformation behaves for innermost termination and (innermost) derivational complexity. We prove that it reflects innermost termination and ...

An interesting area of psycholinguistic inquiry is to discover the way morphological structures are stored in the human mind and how they are retrieved during comprehension or production of language. The current study probed into what goes on in the mind of EFL learners when processing derivational morphology and how English and Persian derivational suffixes are processed. 60 Iranian EFL learne...

Affisix is a tool for automatic recognition of affixes. Input: an extensive list of words in a language Output: segments — candidates for affixes • prefixes (in the present shape) • suffixes (another possible use)

Unsupervised learning of morphology is used for automatic affix identification, morphological segmentation of words and generating paradigms which give a list of all affixes that can be combined with a list of stems. Various unsupervised approaches are used to segment words into stem and suffix. Most unsupervised methods used to learn morphology assume that suffixes occur frequently in a corpus...

Our algorithm, ParaMor, fared well in Morpho Challenge 2007 (Kurimo et al., 2007), a peer operated competition pitting against one another algorithms designed to discover the morphological structure of natural languages from nothing more than raw text. ParaMor constructs sets of affixes closely mimicking the paradigms of a language, and, with these structures in hand, annotates word forms with ...

Most data on the Web is in the form of text or image. Finding desired data on the Web in a timely and cost-effective way is a problem of wide interest. In the last several years, many search engines have been created to help Web users find desired information. In this paper we present a new technique to eliminate the affixes and their effects on recognizing similar Persian documents. Reviewing ...

Inflectional affixes are sensitive to morphological properties of the elements they attach to. Therefore Bierwisch (1987) suggested that the inflectional material is combined with both the verbal stem of simplex verbs and the verbal stem of particle verbs. He argued that this leads to the bracketing paradox in the case of particle verbs since the semantic contribution of the inflectional inform...
