Lexifanis is a Software Tool designed and implemented by the authors to analyze Modern Greek Language ('Δημοτιχη). This system assigns grammatical classes (parts of speech) to 95--98% of the words of a text which is read and normalized by the computer.By providing the system with the appropriate grammatical knowledge (i.e.: dictionaries of non-inflected words, affixation morphology and limited surface syntax rules) any "variant" of Modern Greek Language (dialect or idiom) can be processed.In designing the system, special consideration is given to the Greek Language morphological characteristics, primarily to the inflection and the accentuation.In Linguistics, Lexifanis, can assist the generation of indexes or lemmata; on the other hand readability or style analysis can be performed using this software as a basic component. In Word Processing this software may serve as a background to build dictionaries for a spelling checking and error detection package.Through this study our research group has set the basis in designing an "expert system" which is intended to "understand" and process Modern Greek texts. Lexifanis is the first working tool for Modern Greek Language.
