PrefaceThe 4th International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for the Uralic Languages (IWCLUL) continues the annual meetings ACL SIGUR (Association of computational linguistics' special interest group for Uralic languages) after St. Petersburg (2017), Szeged (2016), and Tromsø (2015). It took place in Helsinki from 8th to 9th January, 2018 and was organized in collaboration with the NLP Research Group at the University of Helsinki.should repeat the complete info in order to let this page of the proceedings explain itself (people might not look through the other pages)This year we received a total of 20 submissions of which we accepted 15 (one of which was withdrawn by the authors) giving total of 14 high-quality papers in the final proceedings and an acceptance rate of 75 %. The accepted papers represent a variety of languages and growing resources in the Uralic landscape: Finnish, Komi-Zyrian, Udmurt, Erzya, Northern Sámi, Pite Sámi, Nganasan and Estonian; topics covered treebanks, parsing, code-switching, language generation, automatic speech recognition, morphology, and typological treatment across all Uralic languages, among others.During this year's annual meeting we also had the first election of the ACL SIGUR board after the establishment of the new SIG in Szeged in 2016. The current board was re-elected by the ACL SIGUR membership for two further years.We thank the programming committee, local organisers and participants for making annual meetings of ACL SIG for Uralic languages possible. AbstractThis paper describes the test of a dependency parsing method which is based on bidirectional LSTM feature representations and multilingual word embedding, and evaluates the results on mono-and multilingual data. The results are similar in all cases, with a slightly better results achieved using multilingual data. The languages under investigation are Komi-Zyrian and Russian. Examination of the results by relation type shows that some language specific constructions are correctly recognized even when they appear in naturally occurring code-switching data. TiivistelmäTutkimus arvioi dependenssianalyysin menetelmää, joka perustuu kaksisuuntaiseen LSTM-piirrerepresentaatioon ja monikieliseen 'word embedding' -malliin, sekä arvioi tuloksia yksi-ja monikielisissä aineistoissa. Tulokset ovat samantapaisia, mutta hieman korkeampia moni-kuin yksikielisissä aineistoissa. Tutkitut kielet ovat komisyrjääni ja venäjä. Tulosten yksityiskohtaisempi analyysi riippuvuuksien mukaan osoittaa, että tietyt kielikohtaiset suhteet on tunnistettu oikein jopa niiden esiintyessä luonnollisissa koodinvaihtoa sisältävissä lauseissa. IntroductionSpontaneous speech data of small, endangered languages most commonly contain code-switching, ad-hoc borrowings and other kinds of language contact phenomena originating from the non-target contact language(s). Consequently, spoken corpora originating from such data contain numerous utterances in which linguistic elements from at least two languages co-occur. The most usual occurrences are c...

“…It is possible that a word paradigm cell is filled by two or more synonymous forms that realise the same set of morpho-syntactic categories. These alternative realizations are called doublets in the German linguistic tradition (Mörth and Dressler, 2014), parallel forms (Raadik, 2013) in the Estonian tradition (which will be followed in the current paper), and overabundant forms (Thornton, 2012).…”

Parallel forms are two or more synonymous forms that convey an identical set of morpho-syntactic categories in a paradigm cell of a word. They deserve attention from a theoretical linguistic, as well as from a computational point of view. How do humans know which form to choose, and how should this preference be modelled computationally? The paper gives an overview of parallel forms in Estonian and discusses reasons for surface form variation. A considerable part of the article is dedicated to a simplified, but still technically detailed example of handling parallel plural partitive forms, one of which is more common, and the other a rarer form. An example is used to explicate the proposed method of handling parallel forms in finite state morphology, coupled with considerations of their preferencial choice. The method involves using a combination of two-level rules as a way of controlling the combinatorial explosion of continuation lexicons. The design has been implemented to fully cover the inflectional morphology of Estonian. KokkuvõteRööpvormid on ühe sõna erinevad muutevormid, millel on sama grammatiline tähendus. Nad väärivad tähelepanu nii teoreetilise kui ka arvutilingvistika poolt. Kuidas teavad inimesed, millist vormi valida, ja kuidas seda teadmist modelleerida? Artikkel annab ülevaate rööpvormidest eesti keeles ja arutleb nende olemasolu põhjuste üle.

“…its default tone pattern) and the reduplicant does not bear a tone. This variation results in an instance of overabundance 'where two or more forms are available to realise the same cell in an inflectional paradigm' (Thornton 2012). The 'optionality' of reduplication -indicated with parentheses in (3b) and (4b) -demonstrates that it is not an obligatory exponent of negation in predicates of this kind, however, reduplication is possible with all lexical verbs.…”

Negation through reduplication and tone: implications for the Lexical Functional Grammar/Paradigm Function Morphology interface

Morphological marking of negation through verbal reduplication and tone is a typologically rare phenomenon attested in Eleme (Niger-Congo; Nigeria). Using Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) and Paradigm Function Morphology (PFM) to model first-hand data, I argue that reduplication is not a direct exponent of negation in Eleme, but an asemantic morphomic process, indirectly associated with the presence of a negative polarity feature in LFG's m(orphological)-structure. While negative verb forms of this kind are typologically unusual, the data can be explained by independently motivated morphology-internal principles. The empirical facts thereby provide support for an m-structure, characterised by its own principles and rules, which interfaces with a bifurcated lexicon that separates content from form.
