A Computational Model of Croatian Derivational Morphology

Computational models of derivational morphology of Slavic languages have attracted much interest in recent years. This paper describes a computational model of Croatian derivational morphology, limited at present to suffixal derivation. The model extends on the previously developed model of inflectional morphology, and uses higher-order functions to succinctly define the word formation rules. The basic building blocks of the model are derivational patterns, closely resembling the derivational patterns found in traditional grammar books. We describe how the model can be used to create derivational families, and discuss the problem of spurious derivations.
