Oriya nominal forms: a finite state processing
Kshirabdhi Tanaya Sahoo · 2004
Morphological analysis of words is a basic tool for automatic language processing, and indispensable when dealing with agglutinative languages like Oriya. The paper discusses the morphological processing of nouns in Oriya in a deterministic finite state automaton (FSA). It proposes a model for designing a morphological analyzer for Oriya nouns, which can provide lexical, morphological and syntactic information for each lexical unit in the analyzed nominal form. It draws out a finite-state machine that accepts valid sequences of morphemes in a nominal form and rejects invalid ones.
