Arabic Morphology Parsing Revisited

In this paper we propose a new approach to the description of Arabic morphology using 2-tape finite state transducers, based on a particular and systematic use of the operation of composition in a way that allows for incremental substitutions of concatenated lexical morpheme specifications with their surface realization for non-concatenative processes (the case of Arabic templatic interdigitation and non-templatic circumfixation).
