Phonology Seminar: Bruce Hayes, “Allomorph discovery as a basis for learning alternations”
Hayes/Keating residence; Please contact Bruce if you need directions; bhayes@humnet.ucla.eduUCLA/USC Joint Phonology Seminar I describe an implemented system for learning the allomorphs of morphemes. It inputs glossed paradigms and outputs the allomorphs of each morpheme. The system takes the form of a maxent grammar, with constraints preferring minimal alternation and segmental contiguity. Learning the allomorphs first greatly simplifies the learning of underlying forms: string...
