Word formation processes have become one of the most important steps for company in creating brand names. This study aims to identify and describe word on snack brands. There were 30 objects brands this study. The object was names found Alfamart Indomaret. Qualitative descriptive method applied results show that there six words names, namely blending, compounding, borrowing, acronyms, coinage m...

Lexical blending is a highly productive and frequent process by which new words enter a language. A blend is formed when two or more source words are combined, with at least one them shortened, as in brunch (breakfast+lunch). We use linguistic and cognitive aspects of this process to motivate a computational treatment of neologisms formed by blending. We propose statistical features that can in...

This study addresses the question of what basic principles and constraints govern blending while focusing on the description and analysis of phonological properties of Korean blends. Korean blending shows a systematic phonological word-formation process that usually preserves the prosodic structure of the head source word, while the initial part of the segmental sequence of the blend is from th...

This research explored the types of word formation processes in descriptions cosmetic products. descriptive qualitative study employed classification proposed by Yule’s (2010)—derivation, compounding, conversion, borrowing, blending, acronym, backformation, coinage, clipping, and multiple to analyze data. The data were taken from products beauty brands U.S celebrities—Fenty Beauty, Rare Kylie C...

negative-maker affixes are those linguistic elements that are widely used in word making. the function and the type of each of these affixes are unique and different from others. the russian affix ??-, for example, in its combination with pronouns and adverbs, makes non-referential sentences that use the infinitive form of the verb, while the affix ??- in its combination with pronouns and adver...

In this paper we discuss the role of language modeling in a novel natural language dialogue system designed to automatically route incoming customer calls. We arrive at two significant conclusions: First, standard word error rate measures do not reflect application specific requirements; highly reliable content extraction is possible with relatively high word error rates. Secondly blending huma...

In this study we describe a syntax-based word reordering technique for n-gram-based statistical machine translation (SMT). The proposed distortion model operates with generalized unlexicalized rules and aims to order source language words so that translation is close to monotonic, simplifying the translation process. In the final step, we apply a translation units blending strategy, combining b...
