Abstract

The Nabu morphological processor is designed to perform a number of different functions, of which five have so far been identified: analysis, guessing (about unknown words), synthesis, defaulting (proposing the most likely inflectional paradigm for a new base form), and coding (producing all possible inflectional paradigm variants for a new base form). Complete or very substantial analyzers have been produced for a number of diverse languages; other functions have been implemented as well. This paper discusses our design philosophy, as well as our technique and its implementation.
