A Word Grammar of Turkish with Morphophonemic Rules

A WORD GRAMMAR OF TURKISH WITH MORPHOPHONEMIC RULES  Oztaner, Serdar Murat M.S., Department of Computer Engineering Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Cem Boz sahin January 1996, 128 pages This thesis is about the computational morphological analysis and generation of Turkish word forms. Turkish morphological description is encoded using the two-level morphological model. This description consists of a phonological component that contains the two-level morphophonemic rules, and a lexicon component which lists lexical items (indivisible words and a xes) and encodes the morphotactic constraints. In the scope of the study, a generic word grammar in a tabular form expressing the ordering relationships among morphemes is designed and morphophonemic processes along with solutions to exceptional cases are formulated.
