Abstract
Languages exhibiting both tonal and reduplication processes pose a challenge for finite-state technologies. In this sense, Markowska et al. (2021) propose a combination of 2-way FSTs and multi-tape FSTs in order to simultaneously deal with total reduplication on the segmental level and independent tonal processes on the autosegmental level. Here, we evaluate this model for reduplication processes in Thai, which shows total reduplication both for tones and segments, and we suggest that the expressivity of 2-way FSTs is needed at both levels.
