This paper presents a large-scale Greek morphological lexicon, developed by the Software & Knowledge Engineering Laboratory (SKEL) of NCSR "Demokritos". The paper describes the lexicon architecture, the procedure followed to develop it, as well as the provided functionalities to update it. The morphological lexicon was used to develop a lemmatiser and a morphological analyser that were included in a controlled language checker for Greek. The paper discusses the current coverage of the lexicon, as well as remaining issues and how we plan to address them. Our long-term goal is to produce a wide-coverage morphological lexicon of Greek that can be easily exploited in several natural language processing applications.
