Derivational Morphemes as Markers of Borrowed Words in Czech
Original language description
In Czech, borrowed words are often marked by the presence of morphemes of foreign origin. Non- native derivational affixes such as un-, dys-, and anti- frequently appear in these words, typically alongside foreign stems. However, it is unclear to what extent these morphemes independently influence the classification of a word as borrowed or act as a marker for borrowed words. This study investigates the role of derivational morphemes in marking borrowed words in four parts-of- speech (POS) categories: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. We extract native and borrowed words from DeriNet, which categorizes words based on their POS tags and loanword status. Using a multinomial Naive Bayes classifier, we perform binary classification to distinguish native and borrowed words, extracting classification probabilities for the morphemes that make up these words. We compare these results with attention-based binary LSTM classifier and RobeCzech, a pre-trained RoBERTa model for Czech that we finetune for our
