Abstract
The goal of our work is to create a new computational model within the
framework of finite state technology that will account for
non-concatenative word formation processes in Semitic languages. It
will extend and augment existing finite-state techniques, which are
presently not sufficiently suitable for describing this kind of
phenomena. Our purpose is to create such a new model, prove it is
indeed finite-state, show how it maintains the closure properties of
regular relations and use it to describe the non-concatenative
phenomena of Semitic languages.
