Morphological Generation Task

A Morphological Generation Task is a Morphological Parsing Task that can generates a Surface Word based on a Base Word and Inflectionals and Orthographic Rules.

• Example(s):
  • f(TALK + 3rdSg) ⇒ “talks” .
  • f(LET + US + contraction) ⇒ “let's”.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • MPT("dogs”,"Dogs are mammals”) ⇒ (Stem dog] + Inflexional Suffix -s]
  • an Allomorph Segmentation Task.

  • Morphological parsing, in natural language processing, is the process of determining the morphemes from which a given word is constructed. It must be able to distinguish between orthographic rules and morphological rules. For example, the word 'foxes' can be decomposed into 'fox' (the stem), and 'es' (a suffix indicating plurality).

    The generally accepted approach to morphological parsing is through the use of a finite state transducer (FST), which inputs words and outputs their stem and modifiers. The FST is initially created through algorithmic parsing of some word source, such as a dictionary, complete with modifier markups.

    Another approach is through the use of an indexed lookup method, which uses a constructed radix tree. This is not an often-taken route because it breaks down for morphologically complex languages.

  • Morphological analysis is the analysis of morphology in various fields:
    • Morphological analysis (problem-solving) or general morphological analysis, a method for exploring all possible solutions to a multi-dimensional, non-quantified problem
    • Analysis of morphology (linguistics), the internal structure of words
    • Analysis of morphology (biology), the form and structure of organisms and their specific features
    • Mathematical morphology, a theory and technique for analysis and processing of images and geometrical structures
    • Morphological dictionary, in computational linguistics, a linguistic resource that contains correspondences between surface form and lexical forms of words.
