Pérez Cruz, Karen, Auch, Leah, Gagne, Christina, Spalding, Thomas, Gagné, Christina
The Large Database of English Pseudo-compounds (LaDEP) contains nearly 7,500 English words which mimic, but do not truly possess, a compound morphemic structure. These pseudo-compounds can be parsed into two free morpheme constituents (e.g., car-pet), but neither constituent functions as a...

Download2022-05-04
This thesis shall address the nature of, and various possible approaches to, semantic classification in a bilingual dictionary setting, in this instance, in that of a low-resource language (Plains Cree/nêhiyawêwin, ISO:crk). In doing this, we shall discuss the distinct, yet partially overlapping...

We...

Inflectional morphology presents numerous problems for traditional computational models, not least of which is an increase in the number of rare types in any corpus. Although few annotated corpora exist for morphologically complex languages, it is possible for lay-speakers of the language to...

Dispersal by flight is a complex life history phase in many insects that is essential to gene flow and range expansion. Many elements contribute to realized dispersal, including biotic and abiotic environmental conditions, as well as intrinsic factors such as morphology, physiology and behavior....
