Fwd: MIND MORPHOLOGY: Connections, Combinations and Implications: Thurs, Feb. 23, 4pm

by Andrew Nevins

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bradford Z. Mahon <mahon(a)fas.harvard.edu> Date: Feb 21, 2006 12:40 PM Subject: MIND MORPHOLOGY: Connections, Combinations and Implications: Thurs, Feb. 23, 4pm Dear All, This Thursday, Miguel Vazquez-Larruscain will be presenting in the Cognitive Neuropsychology Laboratory on theoretical issues related to morphology; the case study is the past tense of Spanish verbs. It promises to be an interesting talk, and all are invited to attend. Please see the abstract below. Best Brad Ps. If you know of folks who may be interested in attending who are not on this list, please feel free to forward this message; please ask that they email mahon(a)fas.harvard.edu if they will attend. MIND MORPHOLOGY: Connections, Combinations and Implications. Miguel Vazquez-Larruscain, Northeastern University February 23 4pm Cognitive Neuropsychology Laboratory, William James Hall 9th floor Morphology can only be understood as the product of the human mind: lists of irregularities are an embarrassment in the design of any combinatorial symbolic system. They are only understandable as the result of unifying two different and sometimes competing properties of the mind: productive combination and associative storage - as suggested in Pinker and Ullman's Words&Rules model. DATR formalisms are extremely efficient in integrating both idiosyncratic and regular categories within the same system by using prioritized constraints. Inflection is represented as a database and diacritics are replaced by a richly structured network of morphological categories in an inheritance hierarchy. This work exemplifies major theoretical points in morphology with the analysis of the Spanish verb in all its complexity. A computational program is presented and the audience is invited to interact with the program in the search for patterns found in child language or language disorders.
