Abstract

Phonologically constrained morphological analysis (PCMA) is the decomposition of words into their component morphemes conditioned by both orthography and pronunciation. This article describes PCMA and its application in large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition to enhance recognition performance in some tasks. Our experiments, based on the British National Corpus and the LOB Corpus for training data and WSJCAM0 for test data, show clearly that PCMA leads to smaller lexicon size, smaller language models, superior word lattices and a decrease in word error rates. PCMA seems to show most benefit in open-vocabulary tasks, where the productivity of a morph unit lexicon makes a substantial reduction in out-ofvocabulary rates.
