12 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A general, language independent FST-based model for morphological analysis and generation has been implemented and applied to the fill range of German verb morphology. In the course of our investigatiom% we found that the treatment of particular language dependent inflec~ tional phenomena which cannot be handled by the general model~ can be easily embedded in a way which does not require to modify the basic model: but can instead be wrapped around it. Iience~ prob-lems which might come up in localizing the stem vowel by means of rewriting rules alone do not occur, From a general point of vi,~w, the main innovations in our sy~tem are a new mettmd for wo~-d stem recognition and a gener~lized fi:;~mework for lexicM represeutx, tion.</Paragraph>
