Abstract
For those studying languages with rich word structures, a morphological parser is a valuable tool. PC-KIMMO is a parser for small computers that is based on Koskenniemi's two-level model of morphology. Of the many practical uses for a morphological parser such as PC-KIMMO, this article describes one: producing automatically glossed interlinear text.
