Abstract

In this paper, we present a morphological processor for Modern Greek.From the linguistic point of view, we try to elucidate the complexity of the inflectional system using a lexical model which follows the recent work by Lieber, 1980, Selkirk 1982, Kiparsky 1982, and others.The implementation is based on the concept of "validation grammars" (Courtin 1977).The morphological processing is controlled by a finite automaton and it combinesa. a dictionary containing the stems for a representative fragment of Modern Greek and all the inflectional affixes withb. a grammar which carries out the transmission of the linguistic information needed for the processing. The words are structured by concatenating a stem with an inflectional part. In certain cases, phonological rules are added to the grammar in order to capture lexical phonological phenomena.
