Rule Based Gujarati Morphological Analyzer
Gujarati is an Indian Language spoken widely by over 50 million people of Gujarat in India and abroad. Gujarati like other Indo-Aryan languages like Hindi, Marathi is morphologically rich. Morphological analysis is an important step for many Natural Language Preprocessing (NLP) applications like machine translation, grammar inference, and information retrieval etc. In this paper we have presented morphological analyzer on rule based approach. Lexical dictionary of root words is created. Manually crafted rules with linguist are developed. The analyzer tool takes Gujarati sentence as an input, and produces its grammar class, gender, number, and tense and person information with its root words. The tool works on both inflectional and derivational morphemes. We have obtained accuracy of 87.48% upon evaluation with text taken from essays and short stories.
