Finite State Morphology and Sindhi Noun Inflections
Mutee U Rahman, Mohammad Iqbal Bhatti · Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB) · 2010
Sindhi is a morphologically rich language.Morphological construction include inflections and derivations.Sindhi morphology becomes more complex due to primary and secondary word types which are further divided into simple, complex and compound words.Sindhi nouns are marked by number gender and case.Finite state transducers (FSTs) quite reasonably represent the inflectional morphology of Sindhi nouns.The paper investigates Sindhi noun inflection rules and defines equivalent computational rules to be used by FSTs; corresponding FSTs are also given.
