PC-Kimmo is a new implementation of a program dubbed KIMMO after its
inventor Kimmo Koskenniemi (see Koskenniemi 1983). The program is
designed to generate (produce) and/or recognize (parse) words using a
two-level model of word structure in which a word is represented as a
correspondence between its lexical level form and its surface level
form. PC-Kimmo includes descriptions for English, Finnish,
Japanese, Hebrew, Kasem, Tagalog, and Turkish.
This directory contains PC-Kimmo and several related utilities:
+ KGEN. A rule compiler for PC-Kimmo, written by Nathan Miles of
Ohio State University.
+ KTEXT. A text processor that uses the PC-KIMMO parser to produce a
morphological parse of each word in the text.
+ Englex. A 20,000 entry morphological parsing lexicon of
English intended for use with PC-KIMMO and/or KTEXT.
