From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finite-state morphological analysis is the use of finite-state approaches to the problem of computational analysis of the morphology of natural languages.

History[edit]

Theoretical overview[edit]

Determinism[edit]

Subsequential and -Subsequential transducers[edit]

A subsequential finite-state transducer is a finite-state transducer which can have an extra string outputted at final states.[1] A typical subsequential transducer only allows one extra string to be outputted, this is a problem when dealing with natural languages which contain ambiguity.

Approaches[edit]

Two-level morphology[edit]

Rewrite-rule cascade[edit]

Issues[edit]

Non-concatenative morphology[edit]

Tokenisation[edit]

Pre-tokenisation
Tokenise as you analyse

Existing implementations[edit]
