MORPHOLOGICAL-PARSING-Ling-132-Morphology-and-Syntax.pptx

THIS REFERS TO THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING A WORD TO IDENTIFY ITS MORPHEMES - THE SMALLEST UNITS OF MEANING OR GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION.
THIS PROCESS BREAKS DOWN WORDS INTO THEIR ROOT FORMS, AFFIXES (PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND INFIXES), AND SOMETIMES OTHER ELEMENTS LIKE INFLECTIONAL ENDINGS THAT PROVIDE INTO HOW WORDS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND HOW THEY FUNCTION IN A SENTENCE.

1. MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING UNDERSTANDING WORD STRUCTURE AND MEANING

2. Lesson objectives: Understand morphological parsing AND MORPHEME SEGMENTATION

3. MORPHOLOGICAL PUZZLE GAME MECHANICS: CHOOSE A WORD AND BREAK IT DOWN INTO ITS CONSTITUENT PARTS. AFTER BREAKING DOWN, EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUENT PARTS. E.G. “ UNHAPPINESS” UN- (PREFIX MEANING “NOT”) HAPPY (BASE WORD MEANING “PLEASURE”) NESS(A SUFFIX FORMING A NOUN)

4. WHAT IS MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING?

5. MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING THIS REFERS TO THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING A WORD TO IDENTIFY ITS MORPHEMES - THE SMALLEST UNITS OF MEANING OR GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION. THIS PROCESS BREAKS DOWN WORDS INTO THEIR ROOT FORMS, AFFIXES (PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND INFIXES), AND SOMETIMES OTHER ELEMENTS LIKE INFLECTIONAL ENDINGS THAT PROVIDE INTO HOW WORDS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND HOW THEY FUNCTION IN A SENTENCE.

6. PURPOSE OF MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING: IT HELPS IN LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS, NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP), AND LANGUAGE LEARNING EXAMPLE: HAPPINESS HAPPY (ROOT WORD) NESS- (SUFFIX)

7. TYPES OF MORPHOLOGY IN PARSING: INFLECTIONAL MORPHOLOGY- ALTER A WORD’S FORM TO CONVEY GRAMMATICAL INFORMATION (TENSE, NUMBER, ETC. ) E.G. “WALKED” - WALK (ROOT) ED ( PAST TENSE DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY- CREATES NEW WORD BY ADDING AFFIXES , OFTEN CHANGING WORD CLASS OR MEANING. E.G. “ RUNNER” – RUN (ROOT) ER (NOUN-FORMING SUFFIX).

8. STEPS IN MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING: SEGMENTATION-BREAKING THE WORD INTO MORPHEMES IDENTIFICATION- CLASSIFYING THE MORPHEMES AS ROOTS, PREFIXES, AND SUFFIXES. ANALYSIS- DETERMINING THE FUNCTION OF EACH MORPHOME ( GRAMMATICAL OR LEXICAL MEANING) E.G. “ REPLAYING” – RE (PREFIX) -PLAY (ROOT) – ING (SIFFIX)

9. MORPHEMES TYPES: LEXICAL MORPHEMES (ROOTS) -CONVEY THE CORE MEANING ( E.G. , “RUN”, “ HAPPY”). GRAMMATICAL MORPHEMES -MODIFY MEANING OR FUNCTION ( E.G., “S” FOR PLURAL, “ ED” FOR PAST TENSE.

10. APPLICATION IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS: NLP USAGE ( NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING) PARSING HELPS MACHINE UNDEWRSTAND AND GENERATE HUMAN LANGUAGE UTILIZED IN SEARCH ENGINES, YTRANSLATION SYSTEMS, AND SPEECH RECOGNITION. EXAMPLE: MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING IMPROVES WORD SENSE, DISAMBIGUATION, AND SYNTACTIC PARSING IN AI SYSTEMS.

11. CHALLENGES IN MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING COMPLEXITY OF LANGUAGES- SOME LANGUAGES HAVE RICH MORPHOLOGY (E.G. FINNISH, TURKISH). AMBIGUITY IN MORPHEME BOUNDARIES- CERTAIN WORDS MAY HAVE UNCLEAR OR OVERLAPPING MORPHEMES. INFLECTIONAL VARIANTS- IRREGULAR FORMS CAN COMPLICATE PARSING ( E.G. “ GO “ VS. “WENT”).

12. EXAMPLE OF PARSING A COMPLEX WORD WORD: “ ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM ANTI-(PREFIX: AGAINST) DIS-(PREFIX : REVERSE) ESTABLISH- ( ROOT: SET UP) MENT – ( SUFFIX : PROCESS) ARIAN- ( SUFFIX: PERTAINING TO) ISM ( SUFFIX: DOCTRINE)

13. SUMMARY MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING IS ESSENTIAL FOR UNDERSTANDING WORD STRUCTURE. IT PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN BOTH LINGUISTICS RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS ( E.G. NLP ) FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS WILL IMPROVE PARSING EFFICIENCY.

14. WHAT IS MORPHEME SEGMENTATION? IS THE PROCESS OF DIVIDING A WORD INTO ITS SMALLEST MEANINGFUL UNITS, KNOWN AS THE MORPHEMES. ITS MAIN PURPOSE IS TO ANALYZE THE STRUCTURE AND MEANING OF WORDS BY IDENTIFYING THEIR COMPONENTS. EXAMPLE: “ UNBELIEVABLY” – UN + BELIEVE + ABLE + LY.

15. TYPES OF MORPHEMES: FREE MORPHEMES- MORPHEMES THAT CAN STAND ALONE AS WORDS. EX. BOOK RUN BOUND MORPHEMES- MORPHEMES THAT CANNOT STAND ALONE AND MUST ATTACH TO OTHER MORPHEMES. EX. “ ED IN “WALKED”, “ ING” IN “ RUNNING”.

16. STEPS IN MORPHEME SEGMENTATION: IDENTIFY THE ROOT- FIND THE CORE PART OF THE WORD THAT CARRIES THE MAIN MEANING. EX. “ DISBELIEF”, THE ROOT WORD IS “ BELIEF”. SEPARATE AFFIXES- BREAK DOWN PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND INFIXES. EX. “ REPLAY” , “ RE” IS A PREFIX, AND “ PLAY” IS THE ROOT WORD. ANALYZE MORPHEME FUNCTION- DETERMINE HOW EACH MORPHEME AFFECTS THE MEANING OF THE WORD. EX. IN HAPPINESS”, “ NESS” TURNS THE ADJECTIVE “ HAPPY” INTO A NOUN.

17. APPLICATIONS OF MORPHEME SEGMENTATION LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS- IT HELPS IN UNDERSTANDING WORD FORMATION AND LANGUAGE STRUCTURE. NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING- ASSISTS IN BREAKING DOWN COMPLEX WORDS FOR EASIER COMPREHENSION AND VOCABULARY BUILDING.

18. SIMILARITIES OF MORPHEME SEGMENTATION AND MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING MORPHEME SEGMENTATION AND MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING ARE CLOSELY RELATED CONCEPTS IN LINGUISTICS THAT BOTH DEAL WITH THE STRUCTURE OF WORDS, BUT SOMEHOW DIFFER IN SOME ASPECTS. ON THE OTHER HAND, MORPHOLOGICAL PARSING IS MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTION AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MORPHEMES.
