The research on modeling the Esto- nian morphology by finite state de- vices has been influenced mostly by (Koskenniemi, 1983), (Lauri Karttunen and Zaenen, 1992) and (Beesley and Karttunen, 2000). We have used lex- ical transducer combined with two- level rules as a general model for de- scribing Estonian morphology. As a novel approach we can emphasize the application of the rules to the both sides of the lexical transducer - both to the lexical representation and to the lemma. In the paper the criteria of optimality of the finite-state descrip- tion of a natural language morphol- ogy and the means of fulfilling these criteria are discussed on the example of Estonian - a language with very rich and complex morphology. Other builders of finite-state morphological transducers may profit from the ideas proposed. |
