Finite State Approach to the Kazakh Nominal Paradigm
Bakyt M. Kairakbay, David L. Zaurbekov · 2013
This work presents the finite state approach to the Kazakh nominal paradigm. The development and implementation of a finitestate transducer for the nominal paradigm of the Kazakh language belonging to agglutinative languages were undertaken. The morphophonemic constraints that are imposed by the Kazakh language synharmonism (vowels and consonants harmony) on the combinations of letters under affix joining as well as morphotactics are considered. Developed Kazakh finite state transducer realizes some morphological analysis/generation functions. A preliminary testing on the use of the morphological analyzer after OCR preprocessing for correcting errors in the Kazakh texts was made. 1
