(Stem and Word) Predictability in Italian verb paradigms: An Entropy-Based Study Exploiting the New Resource LeFFI

Matteo Pellegrini, Alessandra Teresa Cignarella · Accademia University Press eBooks · 2020

In this paper we present LeFFI, an inflected lexicon of Italian listing all the available wordforms of 2,053 verbs. We then use this resource to perform an entropy-based analysis of the mutual predictability of wordforms within Italian verb paradigms, and compare our findings to the ones of previous work on stem predictability in Italian verb inflection.
