Abstract

We present Magead, a morphological analyzer and generator for the Arabic language family. Our work is novel in that it explicitly addresses the need for processing the morphology of the dialects. Magead provides an analysis to a root+pattern representation, it has separate phonological and orthographic representations, and it allows for combining morphemes from different dialects.
