English Abstract

Slang language has becomes the most used language in most countries.

It has almost becomes the first language in social media, websites and daily conversations.

Moreover, it has becomes used in many conferences to clarify information and to deliver the required purpose of them.

Therefore, this great spread of slang language over the world.

In Jordan indicates that it is important to know meanings of Jordanian slang vocabularies.

Mainly, In research system, we created a system that is similar to Shatnawi system in 2012, but this system covers more things especially in context free grammar as well as we added other files to help in mapping from slang to classical language.

His Algorithm builds a special framework which allows users to restore Arabic information depending on queries that are written in slang language and this framework was made basically by context-free grammar to convert from slang to classical and vice versa.

After that, we will try very hard to raise the Dataset’s number for the goal of improving this algorithm’s results.

Also to conclude with, we will apply it on the colloquial slang in North of Jordan specifically; Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash, Mafraq and AlRamtha city.

In addition, we will use a different grammatical system, which is specified in the Colloquial slang of the Northern cities in Jordan.

As well as, we will make a special file for Non_Arabic words and the stop words too.

After we made an evaluation for the system relying on the results of recall, precision and F-measure where the results of precision about 0.63 for both researches slang and classical query, and this indicates that the system supports searching in Jordanian slang language.

The purpose of this research is enhance Arabic information retrieval, and it will be a significant resource for researchers who are interested in slang languages.
