This paper describes a model for the automated morphological analysis of Bahasa Malaysia (the Malay language) via the ATEF system, a component of the mechanical translation system known as ARIANE, which was developed by G.E.T.A. at Grenoble. This model serves two purposes, that is, to test the capability of handling Bahasa Malaysia morphological analysis using ATEF and also to provide a first w...

This paper analyses the system of multiple affixation of spatial preverbs in Homeric Greek in a typological perspective, based on Talmy’s (2000) typology of Motion event, on the work done within the Trajectoire Project (CNRS, TUL), and work on (multiple) affixation systems in some Amerindian languages (Craig & Hale 1988; Craig 1993; Grinevald 2003). It details the existence in Homeric Greek of ...

Affixation is one of the most common and productive ways to form new words in English and forming words through suffix, an affix that is placed after a base, and is a significant component of affixation. Although numerous studies on common suffixes have been conducted, relatively little attention has been paid to the seemingly less used affixes, say the suffix –esque. A thorough analysis is con...

Functional elements (determiners, complementizers, modals, degree words) are in many ways the syntactic analogues of affixes in morphology. Typically, functional elements are bound elements. Phonologically, they are clitics: syntactically, they are unable to appear without an associated thematic element (noun, verb, adjective). I would like to extend the analogy by showing that functional eleme...

In a comparison of the tonal grammars of two German dialects, Swabian and Upper Saxon German, we observe a particular type of intonation contour that is similar in surface form, yet differs phonologically. Phonetically, the contour’s shape is risingfalling; phonologically, the Swabian contour reads as L*H +L 0%, and the one of Upper Saxon as L+ H*L 0%. Both contours are marked ones, and arise t...

This research aims to identify the interference of Betawi language elements morphological variables adolescent speech in Jakarta. The present study uses a qualitative method approach using descriptive analysis techniques. subjects current were adolescents who data analyzed this are words sentence that interfered with language, which contained aspects affixation, reduplication, composition, and ...

A word formation pattern in which use is made of a particular affix can thus be conceived of as a morphological construction in which it is only the affix that is specified whereas the slot for the stem is variable. That is, each affixation pattern is a constructional idiom (in the sense of Jackendoff, 2002). Such affixation templates give direct expression to the fact that affixes are not lexi...
