Finite-state morphology for Kwak'wala: A phonological approach

COLING 2018  ·  Patrick Littell ·

This paper presents the phonological layer of a Kwak{'}wala finite-state morphological transducer, using the phonological hypotheses of Lincoln and Rath (1986) and the lenient composition operation of Karttunen (1998) to mediate the complicated relationship between underlying and surface forms. The resulting system decomposes the wide variety of surface forms in such a way that the morphological layer can be specified using unique and largely concatenative morphemes.
