Theodore Kalamboukis · Data Technologies and Applications · 1995
The problem of morphological analysis may be considered as minor for languages like English compared to languages with a rich inflectional system like Greek. The plural inflection of the English noun which, apart few exceptions, is very simple (add ‐s) while in modern Greek there are 41 different inflectional suffixes. Storage of all the inflected forms of lexical items appearing in a text would cause an explosion in terms of storage space and retrieval time. There are different forms of the written Greek language: such forms include classical Greek, formal language and modern Greek. In this work we examine modern Greek texts.
