The practitioner may possibly be a bit more suspect. Then again, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you haven’t any experience with it, how can one have a legitimate opinion?
Remember, a hundred years ago, our very own “Doctors” cured with leaches and such… it wasn’t until they pooled their resources together and lobbied the government for the right to the name of “Doctor or Medical Practitioner”. That’s it. No science, just lobbying the politicians….

The main challenges of computational morphology are the accurate modelling and implementation of the morphotactics and the morphophonological alternation rules that characterise word formation in a specific language.

This means that not only should the morphotactics and the alternation rules be accurately and completely implemented, but all and only the (basic) verb and noun roots from which Setswana words are formed should be included in the morphological analyser.

As practical design and implementation approach we systematically include the morphotactics and alternation rules by word category.
