Abstract |
When a text in any language is submitted to a morphological analysis, there always rest some unrecognized words. We can lower their number by adding new words into the dictionary used by the morphological analyzer but we can never gather the whole of the language. The system described in this paper (we call it "derivation module") deals with the unknown derived words. It aims not only at analyzing but also at synthesizing Czech derived words. Such a system is of particular value for automatic processing of languages where derivational morphology plays an important role in regular word formation. |
