On the Computational Modelling of Michif Verbal Morphology (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing computational models of the verbal morphology of the Métis language are insufficient to model the language's unique phonological interactions. |
| Approach: | They propose a finite-state computational model of the verbal morphology of Michif . they use composed finite state transducers to model concatenative morphologies . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on a series of finite-state transducers. |
