This handbook provides a comprehensive account of current research
on the finite-state morphology of Georgian and enables the reader
to enter quickly into Georgian morphosyntax and its computational
processing. It combines linguistic analysis with application of
finite-state technology to processing of the language. The book
opens with the author's synoptic overview of the main lines of
research, covers the properties of the word and its components,
then moves up to the description of Georgian morphosyntax and the
morphological analyzer and generator of Georgian.The book comprises
three chapters and accompanying appendices. The aim of the first
chapter is to describe the morphosyntactic structure of Georgian,
focusing on differences between Old and Modern Georgian. The second
chapter focuses on the application of finite-state technology to
the processing of Georgian and on the compilation of a tokenizer, a
morphological analyzer and a generator for Georgian. The third
chapter discusses the testing and evaluation of the analyzer's
output and the compilation of the Georgian Language Corpus (GLC),
which is now accessible online and freely available to the research
community.Since the development of the analyzer, the field of
computational linguistics has advanced in several ways, but the
majority of new approaches to language processing has not been
tested on Georgian. So, the organization of the book makes it
easier to handle new developments from both a theoretical and
practical viewpoint.The book includes a detailed index and
references as well as the full list of morphosyntactic tags. It
will be of interest and practical use to a wide range of linguists
and advanced students interested in Georgian morphosyntax generally
as well as to researchers working in the field of computational
linguistics and focusing on how languages with complicated
morphosyntax can be handled through finite-state approaches.
