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](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/beesley-1998-arabic-morphology-only-finite-state/)** *(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](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/beesley-1998-consonant-spreading-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… ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 1998](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/1998/) - [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/): [COLING 1996](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/1996/) - Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 79 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [50 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kenneth-r-beesley/cited-by/).
