As noted by Aikhenvald (2020) , Arawak languages are synthetic, predominantly head marking and suffixing, with a complex verbal morphology. Yine presents three open word classes: nouns, verbs, and adjectives (mostly by derivation); and four closed word classes: pronouns, adverbs, demonstratives and numerals. In this section, we will only discuss the pronominal system, and some features associated with the verbal and nominal morphology, since they are relevant to the current state of representation of Yine morphology by the FST formalism.", |

Prefixing of possessive morphemes triggers other morphophonological processes that will be explained in \u00a73.3. In (5) we see /l/ rhotacism, which occurs when an /l/ initial suffix mutates /l/ to /r/ when attached to a stem ending in i, e, u or n.

The author mentions that a complete description of the morphological patterns of the language is still needed and leaves many issues open for further study. Thus, our application of them is based not only on the explicit description of Hanson (2010) but also in the examples presented by the author which entails some systematizable rules for our work. For example, examples (7) and (8) and how how the same 1PL object morpheme wu triggers vowel deletion in (7) and does not in (8) where it would create an identical consonant cluster ww. So, although vowel deletion seems to be lexically specified as mentioned by the author, phonological constraints seem to be highly relevant. There are other morphophonological rules applied in word formation which need to be studied in depth. Rules applied to prefixation processes, are presented in the next section.", |

Each level accepts (generates) valid strings in their respective tape, and either level can be transduced to corresponding (possibly multiple) strings on the other level. FSTs can be stacked so that a lower or upper tape feeds into the corresponding tape of another FST. In summary: 1. words can be transduced to morphological analyses, 2. morphological analyses can be transduced to words, 3. only valid representations are accepted (generated) on either side, 4. a valid input representation may result in multiple output representations, and 5. transducers can be stacked to multiple levels.", |

"text": "The verb predicate shown in (16) is not testified to by the Yine corpus, but rather is a tour de force act of word creation based on the grammar by Hanson, comparable to verb predicate phrase creation in non-polysynthetic languages. The analysis shown is based on the FST analysis and shows several important word generation features: 1. subject prefix class 1 (stem with initial /g/), 2. associate prefix gim-, 3. alteration due to initial /g/, 4. discontinuous dependency of form for 3 rd person plural, 5. multiple incorporants for verb stem, 6. open category noun incorporant, 7. marker for closure of incorporants, 8. multiple incorporants for verb predicate, 9. vowel elision. The subject pronoun prefix class 1 (with inital /g/) is similar to that of possessor prefix class 1 with nouns. Discontinuous behavior for \u2022Subj3Pl is also similar to that for \u20223PlPssr, noun possessor 3 rd person plural, with the obvious difference that the 3 rd person plural subject suffix marker -na is now very distant from the prefix! Adding the associative prefix gimto the verb root triggers 'g' alteration for roots with initial /g/ similar to subject class 1. The FST, see listing 9, writes gim \u2022Assocto the upper tape and gim^g to the lower tape. The intermediate flag^g subsequently triggers 'g' alteration if the stem has initial /g/ as is the case here for the verb gustaka. Listing 9: 'g' alteration with gim-A huge difference in relation nouns is that verbs and verb predicates can have several incorporated morphemes including open noun class morphemes. Individual closed form incorporants are similar in structure to NounCase (listing 5) and VerbAssoc (listing 9) above. With verb stems, multiple incorporants can appear, but each incorporant type only once, and according to Hanson (2010) , the order of incorporants is flexible. The snippet in listing 10 shows forming the union of individual incorporants, and the snippet in listing 11 shows how this union is repeated over 1 to 9 iterations. While not obvious from the union (because everything is via definitions), the lexical form and analysis for each incorporant are written to the upper tape and the lexical form and a unique filter flag are written to the lower tape. The filter flags will be used to enforce the no more than one of each incorporant type rule. 7", |
