Study Notes
Functional Morphology
- Functional Morphology is a type where the core meaning and Part of Speech (POS) of the word remain intact.
Question Formation
- In QST, the interrogative particle + أ attaches to the first word in any sentence, turning it into a question.
Key Concepts in Morphology
- The core meaning of a word is called a Lexeme.
- A Stem is a part of a word that remains unchanged.
- A Morpheme is a unit of language that carries meaning.
Lexeme and Inflection
- A set of all word forms that share a core meaning and differ only in inflection and cliticization is called a Lexeme.
Homonymy
- ‘بيت-house’ and ‘بيت-verse’ is an example of Partial Paradigm Homonymy.
- ‘قاعده-rule’ and ‘قاعده-base’ are examples of homonymy.
ALMORGEANA and BAMA
- Analysis in ALMORGEANA is similar to BAMA.
- The difference between ALMORGEANA and BAMA lies in an extra step that uses lexeme and feature keys associated with stem, prefix, and suffix string sequences to construct the lexeme and feature output.
ALMORGEANA Generation
- In ALMORGEANA generation, the input is a string and the output is a lexeme and features.
- Alternatively, the input is a lexeme and features, and the output is a fully inflected and diacritized word.
