This book provides the first broad yet thorough coverage of issues in morphological theory.
This book provides the first broad yet thorough coverage of issues in morphological theory. It includes a wide array of techniques and systems in computational morphology (including discussion of their limitations), and describes some unusual applications. Sproat motivates the study of computational morphology by arguing that a computational natural language system, such as a parser or a generator, must incorporate a model of morphology. He discusses a range of applications for programs with knowledge of morphology, some of which are not generally found in the literature. Sproat then provides an overview of some of the basic descriptive facts about morphology and issues in theoretical morphology and (lexical) phonology, as well as psycholinguistic evidence for human processing of morphological structure. He takes up the basic techniques that have been proposed for doing morphological processing and discusses at length various systems (such as DECOMP and KIMMO) that incorporate part or all of those techniques, pointing out the inadequacies of such systems from both a descriptive and a computational point of view. He concludes by touching on interesting peripheral areas such as the analysis of complex nominals in English, and on the main contributions of Rumelhart and McClelland's connectionism to the computational analysis of words.

Richard Sproat is Professor of Biomedical Computer Science in the Department of Science & Engineering (DSE) at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine.
Sproat argues simply and persuasively for the practical value of computational morphology. His discussion of the linguistic background and of a number of actual systems is admirably broad, yet concise. Sproat has provided an excellent foundation for anyone who wishes to proceed further in exploring this promising new area.
