Summary: | This thesis explores the task of morphological parsing, which is going from
a written word to a representation of the units of meaning making up the word.
The research objective is to investigate morphological parsing of Finnish with lexical
transducers through a case study of OMorFi (Open Morphology for Finnish). The
thesis also presents some linguistic and mathematical background as well as some
techniques for constructing FSTs (Finite-State Transducers). The main results are an
exposition and some analysis of OMorFi’s paradigms, stubs & stems language model,
some comparison with related work and ideas for potential future work.
