"abstract": "This paper examines the phenomenon of consonant spreading in Arabic stems. Each spreading involves a local surface copying of an underlying consonant, and, in certain phonological contexts, spreading alternates productively with consonant lengthening (or gemination). The morphophonemic triggers of spreading lie in the patterns or even in the roots themselves, and the combination of a spreading root and a spreading pattern causes a consonant to be copied multiple times. The interdigitation of Arabic stems and the realization of consonant spreading are formalized using finite-state morphotactics and variation rules, and this approach has been successfully implemented in a large-scale Arabic morphological analyzer which is available for testing on the Internet.",

"text": "Interdigitation as Intersection Finite-state morphology is based on the claim that both morphotactics and phonological/orthographical variation rules, i.e. the relation of underlying forms to surface forms, can be formalized using finite-state automata (Kaplan and Kay, 1981; Karttunen, 1991; Kaplan and Kay, 1994) . Although the most accessible computer implementations (Koskenniemi, 1983; Antworth, 1990; Karttunen, 1993) of finite-state morphotactics have been limited to building words via the concatenation of morphemes, the theory itself does not have this limitation. In Semitic morphotactics, root and pattern morphemes (and, according to one's theory, perhaps separate vocalization morphemes) are naturally formalized as regular languages, and stems are formed by the intersection, rather than the concatenation, of these regular languages. Such analyses have been laid out elsewhere (Kataja and Koskenniemi, 1988; Beesley, 1998a; Beesley, 1998b) and cannot be repeated here. For present purposes, it will suffice to view morphophonemic (underlying) stems as being formed from the intersection of a root and a pattern, where patterns contain vowels and C slots into which root radicals are, intuitively speaking, \"plugged\", as in the following Form I per-~ct active and passive verb examples. Prefixes and suffixes concatenate onto the stems in the usual way to form complete, but still morphophonemic, words; and finite-state variation rules are then applied to map the morphophonemic strings into strings of surface phonemes or orthographicM characters. For an overview of this approach, see Karttunen, Kaplan and Zaehen (1992) . Following Harris (1941) and Hudson (1986) , and unlike McCarthy (1981) , we also allow the patterns to contain non-radical consonants as in the following perfect active Form VII, Form VIII and Form X examples. \"book\" \"books\" \"letter\"",

"text": "Gemination in Forms II and V Some verb and noun stems exhibit a double realization (a copying) of an underlying radical, resulting in gemination 3 or spreading at the surface level. Looking at gemination first, it is best known from verb stems known in the European tradition as Forms II and V, where the middle radical is doubled. Kay's (1987) pattern notation uses a G symbol before the C slot that needs to be doubled. 4 3Gemination in Arabic words can alternatively be analyzed as consonant lengthening, as in Harris (1941) and as implied by Holes (1995) . This solution is very attractive if the goal is to generate fully-voweled orthographical surface strings of Arabic, but for the phonological examples in this paper we adopt the gemination representation as used by phonologists like McCarthy (1981) . 4 Kay's stem-building mechanism, using a multi-tape transducer implemented in Prolog, sees G on the pattern tape and writes a copy of the middle radical on the stem tape without consuming it. Then the following C does the same but consumes the radical symbol in the usual way. Kay's analysis in fact abstracts out the vocaliza- In the same spirit, but with a different mechanism, our Form II and Form V patterns contain an X symbol that appears after the consonant slot to be copied.",

The best known example of Arabic consonant spreading is the verbal stem known as Form IX (the same behavior is also seen in Form XI, Form XIV, Form QIV and in several noun forms). A typical example is the root dhm (~, 0 z), which in Form IX has the meaning \"become black\".",

"text": "5See, for example, the rules of Antworth (1990) for handling the limited reduplication seen in Tagalog. Figure 2 ). Most of them (but not all) share the general meaning of being or becoming a certain color. McCarthy (1981) and others (Kay, 1987; Kiraz, 1994; Bird and Blackburn, 1991) postulate an underlying Form IX stem for dhm that looks like dhamam, with a spreading of the final m radical; other writers like Beeston (1968) list the stem as dhamm, with a geminated or lengthened final radical. In fact, both forms do occur in full surface words as shown in Figure 3 , and the difference is productively and straightforwardly phonological. For perfect endings like +a ('he') and +at ('she'), the final consonant is geminated (or \"lengthened\", depending on your formal point of view). If, however, the suffix begins with a consonant, as in +tu (T) or +ta ('you, masc. sg.'), then the separated or true spreading occurs. dhm to form dhamX. When followed by a suffix beginning with a vowel such as +a or +at, phonologically oriented variation rules would realize the X as a copy of the preceding consonant (/dhamm/). Arabic abhors consonant clusters, and it resorts to various \"cluster busting\" techniques to eliminate them. The final phonological realization would include an epenthetical/?i/on the front, to break up the dh cluster, and would treat the copied m as the onset of a syUable that includes the suffix: /?idham-rna/, or, orthographically, ~.2b.~!. When followed by a suffix beginning with a consonant, as in dhamX+tu, the three-consonant cluster would need to be broken up by another epenthetic vowel as in /?id-ha-rnam-tu/, or, orthographically, \"~.~!. However, for reasons to become clearer below when we look at biliteral roots, we defined an underlying Form IX perfect active pattern CCaCaX leading to abstract stems like dhamaX.",

"text": "The current morphological analyzer is based on dictionaries and rules licensed from an earlier project at ALPNET (Beesley, 1990) , rebuilt completely using Xerox finite-state technology (Beesley, 1996; Beesley, 1998a) . The current dictionaries contain 4930 roots, each one hand-coded to indicate the subset of patterns with which it legally combines (Buckwalter, 1990 ). Roots and patterns are intersected (Beesley, 1998b) at compile time to yield 90,000 stems. Various combinations of prefixes and suffixes, concatenated to the stems, yield over 72,000,000 abstract words. Sixty-six finitestate variation rules map these abstract strings into fully-voweled orthographical strings, and additional trivial rules are then applied to optionally delete short vowels and other diacritics, allowing the system to analyze unvoweled, partially voweled, and fully-voweled orthographical strings.",
