“…For instance, we can give the following (rather exaggerated) example from Turkish: uygarla st ramayabileceklerimizdenmi ssinizcesine whose root is the adjective uygar (civilized). 1 The morpheme breakdown (with morphological glosses underneath) is: 2 uygar +la s +t r +ama +yabil +ecek civilized +AtoV +CAUS +NEG +POT +VtoA(AtoN) +ler +imiz +den +mi s +siniz +cesine +3PL +POSS-1PL +ABL(+NtoV) +PAST +2PL +VtoAdv The portion of the word following the root consists of 11 morphemes each of which either adds further syntactic or semantic information to, or changes the part-of-speech of, the part preceding it. Though most words one uses in Turkish are considerably shorter than this, this example serves to point out the fundamental di erence of the spelling checking and correction problem in such languages.…”

This paper presents an approach to spelling correction in agglutinative languages that is based on two-level morphology and a dynamic programming based search algorithm. Spelling correction in agglutinative languages is signi cantly di erent than in languages like English. The concept of a word in such languages is much wider that the entries found in a dictionary, owing to productive word formation by derivational and in ectional a xations. After an overview of certain issues and relevant mathematical preliminaries, we formally present the problem and our solution. We then present results from our experiments with spelling correction in Turkish, a Ural{Altaic agglutinative language.Our results indicate that we can nd the intended correct word in 95% of the cases and o er it as the rst candidate in 74% of the cases, when the edit distance is 1.

Morfeus+: Word parsing in Basque beyond morphological segmentation

This work describes the formalization of a word structure grammar that represents the complex morphological and morphosyntactic information embedded within the word forms of an agglutinative language (Basque), giving a comprehensive linguistic description of the main morphological phenomena, such as affixation, derivation, and composition, and also taking into account the modeling of both standard and non-standard words. We have identified the relevant issues to be addressed in the representation of such a grammar. We also present the development of Morfeus+, a tool for the analysis of unrestricted texts, testing its applicability and showing that its coverage is wide and robust, allowing the efficient processing of big volumes of data. This paper describes a mature system that has required several person/years and that tries to integrate a rigorous linguistic specification together with more practical implementation matters, such as the appropriate treatment of unknown words in unrestricted texts.
