Abstract

This paper is about morphophonological modeling of derived agentive nouns. The system is implemented using the two-level morphology model, through the PC-KIMMO environment. The phonological rules are implemented through nine two-level rules, while the morphotactics is implemented using a finite state automaton.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The sign + represents the morpheme boundary, and 0 the NULL character.

  2. 2.

    The rule for deleting the last e states also for the nouns, for example, from prose+er, it is derived proser. The doubling rule relates also to the nouns, for example, the surface form gunner, it is derived from the lexical form gun+er.

  3. 3.

    This rule is valid for the verbs, not for the nouns.

  4. 4.

    Namely, the characters h, g, and double r appear as a left context to the combination y+er, the other characters in the subset are part of the rule because of the other suffixes.
