Abstract

This paper describes a syllable-based computational model for the Korean morphology. In this model, morphological analysis is considered as a process of candidate generation and candidate selection. In order to increase the performance of the system, the number of candidates is highly reduced and the system requires small number of dictionary accesses. Idiosynchratic features of a syllable, formalized as a characteristic function, make it possible to reject implausible candidates before dictionary confirmation. Instead of a letter, syllable is a basic processing unit for the practical implementation of the morphological analyzer.
