  1. Arabic Finite-State Morphological Analysis and Generation (1996 · 210 citations)
    Beesley tackles automatic morphological analysis and generation for Arabic. Arabic stems are built by interleaving a consonantal root with a vowel-and-slot pattern, and ordinary text usually leaves out short vowels. As a result, a written word has on average almost five valid analyses. The starting point was an…
  2. Arabic Morphology Using Only Finite-State Operations (1998 · 92 citations)
    The paper shows that Arabic root-and-pattern morphology can be written with finite-state operations alone, and that this is implemented in a large analyser and generator at Xerox.
  3. Consonant Spreading in Arabic Stems (1998 · 30 citations)
    Arabic stems are formed by interleaving a consonantal root with a vowel-and-slot pattern. A purely set-based finite-state account of this seems to break when one root consonant surfaces more than once, either as a doubled consonant or as a copy separated by a vowel. Beesley shows that such cases fit the finite-state…
