Abstract:

This paper examines the role the computer can play in constructing, from rules, derived forms of Swedish morphology and a characterization of Swedish pronunciation. It describes computer rules that mimic generative morphophonemic rules that produce nominals, adjectives, and verbals, and phonological rules that represent their pronunciations. I will also discuss how such rules can be implemented in a context of Computer-Assisted Language Learning. A corollary of this discussion is the degree to which the computer and the student need to cooperate within such activities.
