Derivational Morphology linguistics morphology changes the meaning of words by applying derivations. Derivation linguistics Derivation is the combination of a word stem with a morpheme , which forms a new word, which is often of a different class. For example, develop becomes development , developmental or redevelop . The suffix ation converts the verb nationalize , into the derived noun nationalization . The suffix ize converts the noun plural , into the verb pluralize . Nominalization is a common kind of derivation in English, and it involves forming new nouns from verbs or adjectives, by adding suffixes to them, for example class wikitable Suffix Verb adjective Derived noun ness happy A happiness ee employ V employee The study of derivational morphology can be quite complicated, as the classes of words that an affix apply to are not always clearcut. For example, the suffix ee cannot be added to all verbs, i.e. to add it to run V gives runee, which is clearly not an English word.

Dilation is one of the basic operations in mathematical morphology . Originally developed for binary images , it has been expanded first to grayscale images, and then to complete lattices . The dilation operation usually uses a structuring element for probing and expanding the shapes contained in the input image. Binary Operator Image Dilation.png thumb right The dilation of the dark blue square by a disk, resulting in the light blue square with rounded corners. In binary morphology, dilation is a shift invariant Translational invariance translation invariant operator, strongly related to the Minkowski addition . A binary image is viewed in mathematical morphology as a subset of an Euclidean space R sup d sup or the integer grid Z sup d sup , for some dimension d . Let E be a Euclidean space or an integer grid, A a binary image in E , and B a structuring element. The dilation of A by B is defined by math A oplus B bigcup b in B A b math . The dilation is commutative, also given by math A oplus B B oplus A bigcup a in A B a math .

In generative linguistics , Distributed Morphology is a framework for theories of Morphology linguistics morphology introduced in 1993 by Morris Halle and Alec Marantz . The central claim of Distributed Morphology is that there is no unified Lexicon as in earlier generative treatments of word formation. Rather, the functions that other theories ascribe to the Lexicon are distributed among other components of the grammar. In Distributed Morphology, the abstract morphemes that comprise words are held to be completely empty of phonological information until after the syntax syntactic component has finished manipulating them. That is, the structure of the sentence is worked out before there are any actual words present. The pieces of words that best match the syntactic structure are then inserted into the sentence. Core properties There are three main properties which distinguish Distributed Morphology from other theories ref Harley and Noyer 1999 ref Late Insertion Phonological information is inserted into syntactic structure only after all syntactic operations have applied. Underspecification of Vocabulary items The phonological string inserted in a given syntactic position does not necessarily have to be specified for all of the morphosyntactic features of that position.

The pruning algorithm is a technique used in digital image processing based on mathematical morphology . It is used as a complement to the Topological skeleton skeleton and thinning algorithms to remove unwanted parasitic components. In this case parasitic components refer to branches of a line which are not key to the overall shape of the line and should be removed. These components can often be created by edge detection algorithms or Digitizing digitisation . The standard pruning algorithm will remove all branches shorter than a given number of points. The algorithm starts at the end points and recursively removes a given number n of points from each branch. After this step it will apply dilatation on the new end points with a 2 N 1 2 N 1 structuring element of 1 s and will intersect the result with the original image. If a parasitic branch is shorter than four points and we run the algorithm with n 4 the branch will be removed. The second step ensures that the main trunks of each line are not shortened by the procedure.

Morphology , broadly, is the study of form or structure. Folkloristics Folkloristic morphology , then, is the study of the structure of folklore and fairy tales. Folkloristic morphology owes its existence to two seminal researchers and theorists Russian scholar Vladimir Propp and Finnish folklorist Antti Aarne . Antti Aarne s theories, enlarged and expanded by American folklorist Stith Thompson in 1961 and by Hans J rg Uther in 2004, look at motif folkloristics motifs rather than actions &ndash for example, a soldier makes a deal with the devil or a soldier marries the youngest of three sisters. More than 2500 folk and fairy tales have been cataloged under this taxonomy the AaTh or Aarne Thompson classification system Aarne Thompson number is as well known to folklorists as Francis James Child s identification of Child Ballads ballads are to scholars of folk songs . Vladimir Propp was a Russian Structualisim linguistics structuralist scholar. He criticized Aarne s work for ignoring what motif folkloristics motifs did in a tale, and analysed the Aarne Thompson classification system basic plot , or action, components of Russian folk tales to identify their simplest irreducible narrative elements. His Morphology of the Folk Tale was published in Russian in 1928 and influenced Claude L vi Strauss and Roland Barthes , though it received little attention from Western scholars until it was translated into English in the 1950s. In the Alexander Afanasyev Afanasyev s collection of Russian fairy tales, Propp found a limited number of plot elements or functions that constructed all. These elements occurred in a standard, consistent sequence. He derived thirty one generic functions, such as a difficult task is proposed or donor tests the hero or a magical agent is directly transferred.

Granulometry generated by a structuring element Let B be a structuring element in an Euclidean space or Lattice graph grid E , and consider the family math B k math , math k 0,1, ldots math , given by math B k underbrace B oplus ldots oplus B k mbox times math , where math oplus math denotes dilation morphology morphological dilation . By convention, math B 0 math is the set containing only the origin of E , and math B 1 B math . Let X be a Set mathematics set i.e., a binary image in mathematical morphology , and consider the series of sets math gamma k X math , math k 0,1, ldots math , given by math gamma k X X circ B k math , where math circ math denotes the morphological opening. The granulometry function math G k X math is the cardinality i.e., area or volume , in continuous Euclidean space, or number of elements, in grids of the image math gamma k X math math G k X gamma k X math . The pattern spectrum or size distribution of X is the collection of sets math PS k X math , math k 0,1, ldots math , given by math PS k X G k X G k 1 X math . The parameter k is referred to as size , and the component k of the pattern spectrum math PS k X math provides a rough estimate for the amount of grains of size k in the image X .

Orphan date December 2009 Synthetic morphology is a sub discipline of the broader field of synthetic biology . In standard synthetic biology , artificial gene networks are introduced into Cell biology cell s, inputs eg chemicals, light are applied to those networks, and the networks perform logical operations on them and output the result of the operation as the activity of an enzyme or as the amount of green fluorescent protein . Using this approach, synthetic biologists have demonstrated the ability of their gene networks to perform Boolean logic Boolean computation , to hold a memory, and to generate pulses and oscillation . Synthetic morphology extends this idea by adding output modules that alter the shape or social behaviour of cells in response to the state of the artificial gene network. For example, instead of just making a fluorescent protein, a gene network may switch on an adhesion molecule so that cells stick to each other, or activate a motility system so that cells move. It has been argued that the formation of properly shaped tissues by mammalian cells involves mainly a set of about ten basic cellular events cell proliferation, cell death, cell adhesion, differential adhesion, cell de adhesion, cell fusion, cell locomotion, chemotaxis, haptotaxis, cell wedging ref name Davies Davies JA 2008 Synthetic morphology prospects for engineered, self constructing anatomies. J Anat. 2008 Jun 212 6 707 19. PMID 18510501 ref . Broadly similar lists exist for tissues of plants, fungi etc. In principle, therefore, a fairly small set of output modules might allow biotechnologists to program cells to produce artificially designed arrangements, shapes and eventually tissues . The term synthetic morphology was introduced to the peer review ed scientific literature in 2008 ref name Davies and is now becoming more widely used both in peer reviewed literature ref name Tanaka Tanaka H, Yi TM 2009 Synthetic morphology using alternative inputs.
