The Use of the Relational Concept in the Arabic Morphological Analysis

Abstract

The Arabic language differs from other natural languages in its structures and compositions. In this article we have developed an Arabic morphological analyzer. For this, we have used the relational concept in the database to build our Arabic morphological analyzer. This analyzer uses a set of tables which are linked together by relationships. These relations model certain numbers of compatibility rules between different affixes. Our morphological analysis have been trained and tested on the same databases. The tests of our new approach have given good results and the numbers obtained are very close to those of existing analyzer.
