Lecture

Morphology: Transducers

Description

This lecture introduces morphology as the study of word structure and variability in a language, covering inflectional and derivational morphology. It explains the use of transducers in computational morphology to analyze and generate canonical representations of words. The lecture delves into the decomposition of words into morphemes, the complexity of morphology across languages, and the different types of affixes. It also explores pattern-based morphology in languages like Hebrew, flexional morphology for verbs and nouns, and the operations and regular expressions on transducers. The lecture concludes with examples of transduction, the deterministic and non-deterministic nature of transduction, and the main functions of transducers.
