Abstract

In every application that concerns the automatic processing of natural language, the problem of the dictionary size is posed. In this paper, we propose a compression dictionary algorithm based on an affix analysis of the non diacritical Arabic.It consists in decomposing a word into its first elements taking into account the different linguistic transformations that can affect the morphological structures.This work has been achieved as part of a study of the automatic detection and correction of spelling errors in the non diacritical Arabic texts.
