Learning the Ordering of Coordinate Compounds and Elaborate Expressions in Hmong, Lahu, and Chinese

no code implementations • NAACL 2022 • Chenxuan Cui, Katherine J. Zhang, David R. Mortensen

Mortensen (2006) claims that (1) the linear ordering of EEs and CCs in Hmong, Lahu, and Chinese can be predicted via phonological hierarchies and (2) these phonological hierarchies lack a clear phonetic rationale.

In the literature, languages like Finnish or Turkish are held up as extreme examples of complexity that challenge common modelling assumptions.
