An XML Approach of Coding a Morphological Database for Arabic Language

الملخص EN

We present an XML approach for the production of an Arabic morphological database for Arabic language that will be used in morphological analysis for modern standard Arabic (MSA).

Optimizing the production, maintenance, and extension of morphological database is one of the crucial aspects impacting natural language processing (NLP).

For Arabic language, producing a morphological database is not an easy task, because this it has some particularities such as the phenomena of agglutination and a lot of morphological ambiguity phenomenon.

The method presented can be exploited by NLP applications such as syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, information retrieval, and orthographical correction.
