Abstract

Named entities (NE) occur frequently in Arabic texts, and their recognition is essential. Recognizing and categorizing NE requires both internal (morphological) and external (syntactic) evidences. This paper describes a system that combines a morphological parser and a syntactic parser, that are built with the NooJ linguistic development environment.
