3.4 Limits of Pure FA Morphology
Finite-state morphology has been criticized (i)
for the strict finite-stateness of its handling
of morphotactics (Sproat 1992, ... a
more direct approach through finite-state trans-
ducers can avoid (Sproat 1992, p.143). See
Ritchie et al. 1992, 19-33 for an approach to
parsing using finite-state acceptors, however. ....
