A Two-Level Morphological Analyser for the Indonesian Language

Abstract

This paper presents our efforts at developing an Indonesian morphological analyser that provides a detailed analysis of the rich affixation process 1. We model Indonesian morphology using a two-level morphology approach, decomposing the process into a set of morphotactic and morphophonemic rules. These rules are modelled as a network of finite state transducers and implemented using xfst and lexc. Our approach is able to handle reduplication, a non-concatenative morphological process. 1
