  3. 2. Manner Modifiers as Syntactic Heads

    Författare :Victor Bogren Svensson; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; manner modifier; Incorporation; affixation; adverbial verb; morphology-syntax interface; Inuit languages; Formosan languages;

    Sammanfattning : The present dissertation concerns typologically unusual ways of encoding manner information, namely verbal affixes (manner affixes), incorporated constituents (incorporated manner modifiers) and auxiliary verbs (manner adverbial verbs). A key proposal is that all three are overt realizations of syntactic heads merged in the clausal spine, thereby presenting novel data that can be used to probe into the relationship between morphology and syntax.

Adverbs are less frequent than other parts of speech cross-linguistically, they seldom inflect, and they are rarely used as a source for derivation to other categories. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Unsupervised Learning of Morphology and the Languages of the World

    Författare :Harald Hammarström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational Linguistics; Language typology; Language typology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents work in two areas; Language Technology and Linguistic Typology.

The problem is often referred to as Unsupervised Learning of Morphology and has a variety of applications, including Machine Translation, Document Categorization and Information Retrieval. LÄS MER
