DEVELOPING MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYZERS FOR FOUR INDIAN LANGUAGES
USING A RULE BASED AFFIX STRIPPING APPROACH

Mona Parakh and Rajesha N

Abstract

The present paper deals with the design and development of morphological analyzers for four Indian languages, viz., Assamese, Bengali, Bodo and Oriya. These analyzers are being developed using the Suffix Stripping Approach.

The results of the first version of the analyzers using this approach are fairly encouraging. The coverage of the system is directly related to the size of the dictionary. As this is an ongoing work, we hope to expand and make the system more robust, by increasing the dictionary size.

I. INTRODUCTION

Considering the extensive work that is being carried out in the area of Indian Language Technologies, towards building Language Applications for Major Indian Languages it is the need of the hour to develop and generate language resources for a large number of Indian languages, which are of high quality and with distinct standards.

In order to fulfill this long-pending need, the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore and several other institutions working on Indian Languages technology have set up the Linguistic Data Consortium for Indian Languages (LDC-IL), whose main goal is to create and manage large Indian languages databases. One of the many resource building activities that LDC-IL is involved in includes developing Morphological Analyzers and Generators for major Indian languages.
