Abstract:
Morphological analysis (MA) is needed in any
Natural Language Processing (NLP) Application. It
means taking a word as input and identifying the stem
and affix. MA provides information about a word’s
semantics and the syntactic role which plays in a
sentence. This paper presents the development of a
Myanmar morphological analysis; morphological
processes prevalent in Myanmar language are
explored. We consider Myanmar MA for noun, verb,
adjective and adverb. Myanmar morphology reveals
the three types. They are inflectional morphology,
derivational morphology and compounding. In this
work, finite state automaton (FSA) is used to model
Myanmar morphology which contains a monolingual
lexicon. MA will be to apply as a portion of the
Grammar Checker for detecting grammatical errors in
Myanmar texts. The proposed framework of this paper
is to describe Myanmar morphological analysis.
