Then, syllable bonndaries are computed, taking into account the morphological boundaries. Morphological analysis uses a lexical database, which is also used to retrieve word stress of monomorphematic word forms. The actual transcription takes the syllable as a basic unit and proceeds in two stages: tirst, parts of spelling syllables are transliterated into (strings of) phoneme symbols by a number of transliteration mappings. To this representation, context-sensitive phonological rules are applied, modifying parts of the syllables in the process. Any level of phonetic detail (between a broad and a narrow transcription) can be obtained by adding or blocking rules.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="2"> In the remainder of this paper, we will describe the different modules playing a role in GRAFON in some detail, go into some language-specific requirements, and discuss the advantages of our architectnre to alternative designs.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
