Morphonette: a morphological network of French
This paper describes in details the first version of Morphonette, a new
French morphological resource and a new radically lexeme-based method of
morphological analysis. This research is grounded in a paradigmatic conception
of derivational morphology where the morphological structure is a structure of
the entire lexicon and not one of the individual words it contains. The
discovery of this structure relies on a measure of morphological similarity
between words, on formal analogy and on the properties of two morphological
paradigms
Statistical parsing of morphologically rich languages (SPMRL): what, how and whither
The term Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) refers to languages in which significant information concerning syntactic units and relations is expressed at word-level. There is ample evidence that the application of readily available statistical parsing models to such languages is susceptible to serious performance degradation. The first workshop on statistical parsing of MRLs hosts a variety of contributions which show that despite language-specific idiosyncrasies, the problems associated with parsing MRLs cut across languages and parsing frameworks. In this paper we review the current state-of-affairs with respect to parsing MRLs and point out central challenges. We synthesize the contributions of researchers working on parsing Arabic, Basque, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi and Korean to point out shared solutions across languages. The overarching analysis suggests itself as a source of directions for future investigations
