A PC-KIMMO-Based Morphological Description of Modern Greek
Kyriakos Sgarbas · Literary and Linguistic Computing · 1995
This paper presents the implementation of a morphological processor for the Modern Greek language. The processor is based on the two-level morphology model introduced by Koskenniemi (1983). The presented description is complete for all regular Greek nouns, adjectives, and verbs which constitute the basis of the entire Greek declension system. Modern Greek is a highly inflectional language. The thirty-six two-level rules and the structure of sixty-three declension categories presented in the Appendices have been developed using the PC-KIMMO environment and are compatible with PC-KIMMO version 2.0 software. Irregular forms do exist in Greek morphology but at present they are faced separately and they are not included in this implementation. Sample results and the base lines of the two-level model are also presented.
