Modern Standard Arabic Morphology Essay

828 Words4 Pages

The computational handling of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a challenge in the field of natural language processing due to its highly rich morphology. Arabic inflectional morphology requires infixation, prefixation and suffixation, giving rise to a large space of morphological variation. The researcher will try to describe an approach to reducing the complexity of Modern Standard Arabic morphology generation using discrimination trees and transformational rules. By decoupling the problem of stem changes from that of prefixes and suffixes, we gain a significant reduction in the number of rules required.

Keywords: Computational, Inflectional Morphology, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) Infixation, Prefixation

Introduction
Morphologically, Arabic is a non-concatenative language. The basic problem with generating Arabic verbal morphology is the large number of variants that must be generated. Verbal stems are based on triliteral …show more content…

Stems are formed by a derivational combination of a root morpheme and a vowel melody; the two are arranged according to canonical patterns. Roots are said to interdigitate with patterns to form stems. For example, the Arabic stem katab (he wrote) is composed of the morpheme “a-a”. The two are coordinated according to the pattern CVCVC (C=consonant, V=vowel).

Background of the Study Arabic morphological analysis has been the focus of researchers in natural language processing for a long time. This is due to challenging features of Arabic morphology such as ambiguity resulting from optional diacritization, infix morphemes, and root-and pattern morphology. Numerous morphological analyzers have been built for a wide range of application areas from Information Retrieval (IR) to Machine Translation (MT) and Natural Language Generation (NLG) in a variety of linguistic
