“…Second, RedTyp models reduplicative processes with an understudied and under-used type of finite-state technology: 2-way deterministic finite-state transducers (2-way FSTs) (Engelfriet and Hoogeboom, 2001;Filiot and Reynier, 2016). As we explain in Subsection 2.2, and in detail in Dolatian and Heinz (2018b), 2-way FSTs can reread parts of the input string, unlike 1-way FSTs. In addition to allowing 2-way FSTs to model total reduplication exactly, this additional capacity significantly reduces the number of states needed to model partial reduplication.…”
