| FULL TEXT (pdf) | Bibtex |Much of the debate about the proper treatment of inflectional morphology has focused on English, which has a dreadfully impoverished inflectional system. More complex system, such as the one for Serbian, which encodes number, gender, and case, are difficult to even describe in rules. We present a connectionist model in which acquiring this system is treated as a statistical learning problem. Gender, in this system, is a graded property of words, which is acquired through exposure to a large vocabulary. This contrasts with other theories which employ explicit gender nodes. |
