"abstract": "Kunwinjku is a polysynthetic language spoken in northern Australia. Members of the community have expressed interest in co-developing language applications which could assist in the production of written language resources for education and language learning. Modelling Kunwinjku morphology is a step towards accomplishing these goals. We discuss some of the modeling challenges presented by Kunwinjku verbal morphology, and in polysynthetic languages more generally. We show that a model using standard features of the Foma toolkit can account for much of the verb structure. Our contributions include the first morphological analyzer for Kunwinjku, and a discussion of polysynthetic language features and how they affect modelling decisions. Continuing challenges include robustness in the face of variation and unseen vocabulary, as well as how to handle complex reduplicative processes.", |

Some of the phenomena that fall into this camp are specific cases of nasal assimilation, and peripheral dissimilation. Since the goal of our morphological analyzer is to recognize the inflected forms of written verbs, we avoid giving a more complete description of morphophonemic processes which do not impact the standard written form. It is important to note however that these processes may cause variation in how speakers of the language write.

Flag diacritics take the form of @FLAGTYPE.FEATURE.VALUE@ where FLAGTYPE defines the behavior of the flag, selected from the set of predefined flag types, and FEATURE and VALUE must be defined by the user (Hulden, 2011).
