Abstract

A universal set of functional operators as proposed in Role and Reference Grammars can be used to provide a robust morphology analyser development scheme, which gives the developer of the analyser a clear guiding principle guaranteeing the exhaustiveness of his grammar from the inception of the development task, freeing him from the complex bookkeeping of continuation lexicons often associated with typical finite state lexical transducers.
