Reviews for Computational Nonlinear Morphology: With Emphasis on Semitic Languages

The average rating for Computational Nonlinear Morphology: With Emphasis on Semitic Languages based on 2 reviews is 4 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-26 00:00:00 Brian Dunbar A dense but comprehensive study of the non-concatenative (or nonlinear) morphology found in Semitic languages -- primarily Arabic and Syriac, but there is some mention of Hebrew as well. The focus is on using Finite State Machines for morphological generation, and the book is definitely more focused on computational linguistic analysis than an NLP perspective. Thus, you will not find much here about stemming or machine learning, word sense disambiguation, or the like.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-04 00:00:00 James Rudland It was a good read, but I felt unqualified to read it... would help if one knows the International Phonetic Alphabet by heart (or has a reference book close to hand at all times)... I did learn some stuff tho, and don't regret reading it...
