Finite-state morphology : overview of existing models and applications in continuous-text environments / Michel Simard.: Co28-1/51-1990E-PDF
"Finite-state morphological models are formalisms for describing the set of valid word-forms of a natural language. Being well-suited for computer implementations, they have typically been used for creating systems that efficiently recognize and generate isolatedword-forms. In this paper, we give a presentation of Koskenniemi's two-level morphological model, followed by a comparison with alternative approaches. Integrating such models to natural-language processing systems that deal with NL sentences typically implies modifying the morphological component so that it works in a continuous-text environment. We discuss how this transition from isolated-words to continuous-text may be done, and show that, in addition to the orthographical phenomena normally described by morphological models, the resulting system displays interesting properties for describing"inter-word" phenomena such as elisions and contractions"--Abstract.
