- Abstract: The study of semantic relationships has revealed a close connection between
these relationships and the morphological characteristics of a language.
Morphology, as a subfield of linguistics, investigates the internal structure
and formation of words. By delving into the relationship between semantic
relationships and language morphology, we can gain deeper insights into how the
underlying structure of words contributes to the interpretation and
comprehension of language. This paper explores the dynamic interplay between
semantic relationships and the morphological aspects of different languages, by
examining the intricate relationship between language morphology and semantic
relationships, valuable insights can be gained regarding how the structure of
words influences language comprehension.

This paper presents a novel perspective on the bidirectional causation between language emergence and relational structure of subjective experiences.
We hypothesize that languages with distributional semantics, e.g., syntactic-semantic structures, may have emerged through the process of aligning internal representations among individuals.

Semantic and syntactic bootstrapping posit that children use their prior knowledge of one linguistic domain, say syntactic relations, to help later acquire another, such as the meanings of new words.
Here, we argue that they are instead both contingent on a more general learning strategy for language acquisition: joint learning.
Using a series of neural visually-grounded grammar induction models, we demonstrate that both syntactic and semantic bootstrapping effects are strongest when syntax and semantics are learnt simultaneously.

We also find weak evidence of a negative relationship between word length and morphological irregularity.

spatial relations between objects can either be explicit -- expressed as spatial prepositions, or implicit -- expressed by spatial verbs such as moving, walking, shifting, etc.
We introduce the task of inferring implicit and explicit spatial relations between two entities in an image.
We design a model that uses both textual and visual information to predict the spatial relations, making use of both positional and size information of objects and image embeddings.

We show that both factors are predictive word emergence although we find more support for the latter hypothesis.
