It is often claimed that languages with more non-native speakers tend to become morphologically simpler, presumably because non-native speakers learn the language imperfectly. A growing number of studies support this claim, but there is a dearth of experiments that evaluate it and the suggested explanatory mechanisms.…

In this paper, we present the first automatic lexical simplification system for the Turkish language. Recent text simplification efforts rely on manually crafted simplified corpora and comprehensive NLP tools that can analyse the target text both in word and sentence levels. Turkish is a morphologically rich…

Caregivers typically use a simplified mode of the language - child-directed speech (CDS) - when addressing young children. In this study, we investigate the use of complex morphological structures with a word class change within a single word in Inuktitut CDS. Inuktitut is a polysynthetic agglutinative language of the…

In the domain of language simplification, creating aligned monolingual parallel datasets tailored to specific linguistic dialects is a significant endeavor. This pursuit, introduces the pioneering Punjabi Simplification (PUSIM) corpus, which focuses on the Shahmukhi dialect. Shahmukhi, one of the two prominent dialects…

In this paper, we distinguish between four interconnected notions that recur in the literature on text simplification: clarity, easiness, plainness, and simplicity. While plain language and easy language have both been the subject of standardization efforts, there are few attempts to define text clarity and text…

Using Inflectional Endings Authors: ['Ulugbek Salaev'] Abstract. As Uzbek language is agglutinative, has many morphological features which words formed by combining root and affixes. Affixes play an important role in the morphological analysis of words, by adding additional meanings and grammatical functions to words.…

TreeSearch is an R package for phylogenetic analysis, optimized for morphological datasets. Tree search may be conducted using under equal or implied step weights with an explicit (albeit inexact) allowance for inapplicable character entries, avoiding some of the pitfalls inherent in standard parsimony methods. Profile…

Computational morphology handles the language processing at the word level. It is one of the foundational tasks in the NLP pipeline for the development of higher level NLP applications. It mainly deals with the processing of words and word forms. Computational Morphology addresses various sub problems such as morpheme…

End-stage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders often necessitate joint replacement to restore bilateral mastication. Patient-specific TMJ implants typically rely on detailed in silico modelling derived from subject-specific computed tomography (CT) scans of the mandible. However, generating highly detailed finite…

Premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have impaired alveolar gas exchange due to alveolar simplification and dysmorphic pulmonary vasculature. Advances in clinical care have improved survival for infants with BPD, but the overall incidence of BPD remains unchanged because we lack specific therapies to…

This study investigates the phenomenon of simplification in Chinese-to-English translation across Human Translation (HT), neural machine translation (NMT), and large language model (LLM)-based translation, ChatGPT as an example. Employing entropy-based metrics (unigram entropy and Part-of-Speech (POS) entropy) to…

'Mohammad Mohammadamini'] A morphological analyzer, which is a significant component of many natural language processing applications especially for morphologically rich languages, divides an input word into all its composing morphemes and identifies their morphological roles. In this paper, we introduce a…

Morphology remains a primary source of phylogenetic information for many groups of organisms, and the only one for most fossil taxa. Organismal anatomy is not a collection of randomly assembled and independent ‘parts’, but instead a set of dependent and hierarchically nested entities resulting from ontogeny and…

the Lexicon Authors: ['Amanda Doucette' 'Ryan Cotterell' 'Morgan Sonderegger' 'Timothy O’Donnell'] It has been claimed that within a language, morphologically irregular words are more likely to be phonotactically simple and morphologically regular words are more likely to be phonotactically complex. This inverse…

Collecting and annotating morphological data present significant challenges, requiring linguistic expertise, methodological rigour, and substantial resources. These barriers are particularly acute for low-resource languages and varieties. To accelerate this process, we introduce \texttt{CommonMorph}, a comprehensive…

Learning of M\=aori Word Segmentation across Morphological Processes Authors: ['Ashvini Varatharaj' 'Simon Todd'] Non-Maori-speaking New Zealanders (NMS) ¯ are able to segment Maori words in a highly ¯ similar way to fluent speakers (Panther et al., 2024). This ability is assumed to derive through the identification…

What are syntactic relations, and how does our brain infer them from a string of text characters? In the EEG study reported here we aimed to investigate these questions by contrasting syntactically separable compounds (zao4…fan3 → “rebel”) and non-separable compounds (chi2yi2 → “hesitate”) in Mandarin Chinese. Because…

Morphological knowledge and morphological awareness are multidimensional and both have been confirmed to make important contributions to vocabulary knowledge. However, the extant literature has not made a clear demarcation between morphological knowledge and morphological awareness. The current study examined the…

Polyacrylonitrile flower-like particles (PANFs), as hierarchical superstructures, have recently found applications in catalysis, batteries, sensing, and gas absorption. Yet, precise control over their size and morphology which dictate their properties remains challenging, as the role of reaction parameters in their…

We demonstrate here how nitrate salts of bivalent copper, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, along with an achiral organic ligand, assemble into various structures such as symmetrical double-decker flowers, smooth elongated hexagonal bipyramids, and hexagonal prisms. Large morphological changes occur in these structures…

Organismal anatomy is a complex hierarchical system of interconnected anatomical entities often producing dependencies among multiple morphological characters. Ontologies provide a formalized and computable framework for representing and incorporating prior biological knowledge about anatomical dependencies in models…

Recent studies demonstrated that an elastomer containing hygroscopic inclusions absorbs moisture and swell. Here we show that a thin film of such an elastomer bonded to a rigid substrate undergoes morphological instability upon absorption of water, the wavelength of which increases linearly with its thickness. As the…
