Description

Previous work on morphology has largely tended either to avoid precise computational details or to ignore linguistic generality. Computational Morphology is the first book to present an integrated set of techniques for the rigorous description of morphological phenomena in English and similar languages. By taking account of all facets of morphological analysis, it provides a linguistically general and computationally practical dictionary system for use within an English parsing program. The authors cover morphographemics (variations in spelling as words are built from their component morphemes), morphotactics (the ways that different classes of morphemes can combine, and the types of words that result), and lexical redundancy (patterns of similarity and regularity among the lexical entries for words). They propose a precise rule-notation for each of these areas of linguistic description and present the algorithms for using these rules computationally to manipulate dictionary information. These mechanisms have been implemented in practical and publicly available software, which is described in detail, and appendixes contain a large number of computer-tested sets of rules and lexical entries for English.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages are in Computational morphology?

This edition of Computational morphology has approximately 291 pages. Please note, this is an estimate and the exact page count can vary between hardcover, paperback, and e-book versions.

How long does it take to read Computational morphology?

For most readers, Computational morphology typically takes between 6h 4m and 4h 3m to complete. This is based on the book's length of approximately 72,750 words and common reading speeds.

Here's a detailed breakdown: • Continuous reading at 250 WPM: approximately 4h 51m of focused reading • Casual reading (30 minutes/day): you could finish in roughly 10 days • Estimated word count: 72,750 words

Your individual reading time will vary based on your personal reading pace, the amount of daily reading time, and your familiarity with the subject matter.

What is the word count of Computational morphology?

The estimated word count for Computational morphology is approximately 72,750 words. This figure is calculated using industry-standard methods that consider genre-specific word density patterns, typical formatting and layout characteristics, and standard words-per-page ratios for published books.

This is an approximation — actual word count may vary based on font size, formatting, edition, and the presence of illustrations or charts.

Who is the author of Computational morphology?

Computational morphology was written by Graeme D. Ritchie, Graham J. Russell, Alan W. Black.

When was Computational morphology published?

The publication date for this specific edition is 1992. The original work may have been published on a different date.
