R. Akilan, E. R. Naganathan · 2014
Morphology is the identification, analysis, and description of the structure of a given language's morphemes and other linguistic units, such as root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonations and stresses, or implied context. Morphological analysis is a process of segmenting words into morphemes and a process of analyzing the word formation. Morphological Analyzer is a program which takes words as input and produces its grammatical structure as output. It identifies and segments the words and assigns the grammatical information. Capturing the agglutinative structure of Classical Tamil words by an automatic system is a challenging job. This paper deals with how the Morphological Analyzer is developed for Classical Tamil texts using rule-based approach.
