Word alignment and paradigm induction
Claudia Marzi, Marcello Ferro, Vito Pirrelli · Lingue e linguaggio · 2012
The variety of morphological processes attested in and combinations thereof pose severe problems to unsupervised algorithms of morphology induction. The paper analyses morphological strategies for word recoding. Our model endorses the hypothesis that lexical forms are memorised as full units. At the same time, lexical units are paradigmatically organised. We show that the overall amount of redundant morphological structure emerging from paradigm-based self-organisation has a clear impact on generalisation. This supports the view that issues of word representation and issues of word processing are .
