Abstract
This paper describes FINNMORF, a computerized reference tool which immediately generates the full paradigms for virtually any Finnish lexical item which can be declined or conjugated. The output from the program may be easily redirected to a disk file or printer and used for individual study or the preparation of teaching materials. The FINNMORF program, written in compiled BASIC, exemplifies the potential of this programming language for computational linguistics.
