In this paper, we present the SONDE database, which was developed to investigate the semantics of nouns derived from verbs in French. The database relies on the manual analysis of 5272 deverbal nouns, annotated for their semantic type (taking into account the lexical ambiguity of both bases and derivatives), the lexical aspect of verbs and nouns, and the semantic roles assigned to their arguments. We first describe the construction of the database, including sample selection, the annotation scheme, and an evaluation of annotation reliability. We then analyze the collected data, focusing on (i) the similarity and polyfunctionality of deverbal processes, (ii) the preservation of argument structure and lexical aspect through nominalization, and (iii) the semantic organization of morphological families formed by verbs and their derived nouns. Results show that a network of semantic functions underlies the diversity of deverbal processes, partly shaped by semantically motivated relationships. It appears that the mechanisms of semantic extension that drive polyfunctionality also contribute to the emergence of similarities between processes. Another finding is that the aspectual and argumental properties of base verbs are not necessarily preserved in nominalizations, and that this non-preservation is conditioned by derivational patterns. Finally, the analysis of morphological families reveals distinct structural configurations depending on the semantic alignment of nouns across families. These configurations exhibit varying degrees of defectiveness and are largely determined by the semantic properties of the base verbs.</p>","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"36 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13342197/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148414045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examine two types of durational cues: <i>direct phonetic cues</i>, which reflect phonological features, such as syllable count, and <i>ancillary morphophonetic cues</i>, which reflect phonological features triggered by morphological processes, such as suffixation. For direct phonetic cues, we focus on polysyllabic shortening, a pattern by which adding additional syllables to a stem (e.g., <i>cart</i> → <i>carton</i>) will shorten the duration of the initial syllable. For ancillary morphophonetic cues, we focus on segmental compression, a pattern by which adding a non-syllabic segment, such as a plural suffix, to a syllable coda (e.g., <i>cart</i> → <i>carts</i>) shortens segment durations in the syllable. In two visual world eye-tracking experiments, we ask whether listeners' use of these cues in speech perception depends on (a) immediate morphosyntactic context of the word, (b) broader morphosyntactic features of the language, and (c) listeners' bilingual language experience. Experiment 1, in English, reveals that English-speaking listeners use both types of cues, and further, that morphosyntactic context modulates listeners' use of ancillary morphophonetic cues. Experiment 2 examines ancillary morphophonetic cues in Spanish, a language whose morphosyntax employs substantially more agreement than English. The results for Experiment 2 reveal that Spanish-speaking listeners, regardless of English experience, are more sensitive than English-speaking listeners to ancillary morphophonetic cues. These findings suggest that listeners' use of ancillary morphophonetic cues reflects general perceptual processes, modulated by the role of these cues in their language's grammar.</p>","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"36 1","pages":"19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13574917/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148978669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is concerned with such errors in the domain of English past tense. We present a comprehensive corpus study investigating the frequencies and distribution of different error types, combining both overregularization and overtensing errors, which have previously been studied separately. We then propose an analysis based on Generalized Head Movement (Arregi & Pietraszko, 2021) and Distributed Morphology arguing that errors can be derived from two occasionally occurring underlying mistakes: negligence of secondary features and omission of obliteration.

Why this should be so has remained unclear given that autonomous morphology imposes learning costs, offers no clear benefit relative to its absence and could easily be removed by the analogical forces which are constantly reshaping it. Here we propose an explanation for the resilience of autonomous morphology, in terms of a diachronic dynamic of attraction and repulsion between morphomic categories, which emerges spontaneously from a simple paradigm cell filling process. Employing computational evolutionary models, our key innovation is to bring to light the role of 'dissociative evidence', i.e., evidence for inflectional distinctiveness which a rational reasoner will have access to during analogical inference. Dissociative evidence creates a repulsion dynamic which prevents morphomic classes from collapsing together entirely, i.e., undergoing complete levelling. As we probe alternative models, we reveal the limits of conditional entropy as a measure for predictability in systems that are undergoing change. Finally, we demonstrate that autonomous morphology, far from being 'unnatural', is rather the natural (emergent) consequence of a natural (rational) process of inference applied to inflectional systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11909087/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143652541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we will demonstrate that this is not the case. Apparently challenging cases of directional syncretism can be adequately handled on the view that impoverishment may have two outcomes: deletion of features or insertion of contextually unmarked values. Once this view is adopted, bidirectionality is no longer a problem. Furthermore, we argue that this view allows us to still maintain the claim that syncretism is universally markedness decreasing if markedness is defined over insertion contexts rather than exponents.</p>","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"35 3","pages":"367-415"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12378167/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144981452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This operation takes a perfective verb, that is, a verbal structure including an aspectual projection that restricts its interpretation aspectually (but also adds some lexical semantic content) and turns it into a bare <i>v</i>P. The new verb preserves the conceptually enriched semantics, but not the structurally derived aspectual restriction, which gets overwritten by the newly projected category. The inner aspect of the verb is thus reset to the unvalued, i.e., aspectually unrestricted default. The verb gets interpreted as imperfective by scalar implicature: had the speaker intended the perfective interpretation, they would have used the more specific and computationally cheaper expression involving the perfective verb. On the morphophonological side, assuming with a host of literature that the verbal category is realised by theme vowels (Spyropoulos et al., 2015 and Panagiotidis et al., 2017 for Greek, Svenonius, 2004a for Russian, Jabłońska, 2004, 2007 for Polish, Biskup, 2019 for Czech, Milosavljević & Arsenijević, 2022 for Serbo-Croatian), imperfectivisation amounts to stacking theme vowels.

Knowledge of the anatomical variants of the sinoatrial node artery is important to enhance cardiac surgery and elucidate the pathogenesis of supraventricular arrhythmias. \u0000AIM: To explore and clarify the number, variants, location, and course of sinoatrial node arteries in the heart of middle-aged and older individuals. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 62 formalin-fixed hearts of humans who died from noncardiac causes, the sinoatrial node arteries were dissected and measured using an electronic caliper. Histologically, the location of the artery into the sinoatrial node was clarified through hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome staining. \u0000RESULTS: The number of sinoatrial node arteries varied from 1 (86.6%) to 3 (1.7%). Commonly, sinoatrial node arteries arose from the right coronary artery (66.7%) between the aortic root and right atrial appendage or from the proximal part of the left circumflex artery (28.3%). Rarely, sinoatrial node arteries originated from the orifice of the right coronary artery, from the left coronary artery bifurcation, and on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart from the distal parts of the right coronary artery or left circumflex artery. Sinoatrial node arteries appeared to have subepicardial and intramyocardial components. The sinoatrial node artery that originated from the right coronary artery traveled mainly subepicardially; however, the sinoatrial node artery from the left coronary artery showed a predominantly intramyocardial course. The diameter of the sinoatrial node artery that originated from the right coronary artery varied from 0.7 to 2.8 mm and that from the left coronary artery system varied from 1.1 to 2.5 mm (median, 1.7 mm; p=0.96). The right coronary artery and sinoatrial node artery that branched from that formed a correlation pair in diameter values (Rs=0 .44; р=0.005). \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The sinoatrial node artery has common and rare variants, which differ in the number, origin, and topography of the artery.","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82945844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance of the work is due to the importance of the problem of regeneration of organ tissues (myocardium, liver and brain) for fundamental science and practical medicine. The purpose of the work is to summarize many years of personal experience in studying the regeneration of pathologically altered vital organs in mammalian fetuses in the natural conditions of a living organism. Material and research methods. Rabbit fetuses were subjected to mechanical injury to the heart and brain, and rat fetuses were subjected to similar liver damage. The work was carried out with a number of classical and modern methods (histological, morphometric, electron microscopic and immunohistochemical). Research results. As a result of healing of mechanical trauma in the heart of rabbit fetuses, a complete restoration of the dead area was obtained. In the liver of fetal rats, the organ was not completely restored, there was only a decrease in the area of fibrosis that arose at the site of the dead tissue, compared with the control. The difference in the outcomes of the healing of injury to the heart and liver, the authors explain by the absence of an exudative reaction to injury in the heart of rabbit fetuses, while in rat fetuses this reaction took place at the time of injury. Conclusion. The results obtained give reason to believe that the vital organs of mammalian fetuses have high regenerative potencies.","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74441337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
