Introduction

libmootm is a C++ library for morphological analysis using Thomas Hanneforth's libFSM library.

Morphological Analysis

The mootMorph class is designed to be a wrapper for a user-defined finite-state morphological analyzer using Thomas Hanneforth's libFSM library. You must provide the FSMSymSpec object to use for lookup as well as an FSM object representing the analyzer itself. Additionally, you may specify a tag-extraction transducer (yet another FSM) which maps morphological output paths to PoS tags.

Development of this package was supported by the project Kollokationen im Wörterbuch ("collocations in the dictionary") in association with the project Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts(DWDS) ("digital dictionary of the German language") at the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften with funding from the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung and from the Zukunftsinvestitionsprogramm of the German federal government.

I am grateful to Christiane Fellbaum, Alexander Geyken, Gerald Neumann, Edmund Pohl, Alexey Sokirko, and others for offering useful insights in the course of development of this package.

Thomas Hanneforth wrote and maintains the libFSM C++ library used by this package.

Alexander Geyken and Thomas Hanneforth developed the rule-based morphological analysis system for German which was used in the development and testing of this package.
