“…Morphological analyses of Bangla simple and compound words for MT have been discussed in [8], [9]. Similar approaches have also been observed in languages like Frence, Spanish, Chinese, English, Russian and German [10]. Apparently, numerous research works on morphological analysis of Bangla words for UNL, conversion of Bangla sentence into UNL expressions, algorithms for conversion of Bangla sentence to UNL have been found or in progress for the last few years [11], [12].…”

Abstract-Case structure plays a vital role in grammatical structure of any language during language translation. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of Bangla locative case constructs based on UNL (Universal Networking Language) machine translation scheme. A set of analysis rules have been defined to convert various Bangla locative case sentences into UNL expressions that can later be converted to any native language using language independent deconversion rules. We have demonstrated five different analysis rules and illustrated how each of them can effectively convert Bangla sentences to UNL expressions Index Terms-Universal networking language (UNL), universal words (UWs), Bangla-UNL dictionary, morphological analysis, EnConverter (EnCo). I. INTRODUCTIONUNL is a digital meta-language for describing, summarizing, refining and disseminating information in a machine independent and human languae neutral form, which represents information in the form of semantic networks with hypergraph. The hypergraph has formal English text realization as English is known to experts. It consists of Universal Words (UWs), UNL Relations and UNL attributes. An UW expresses the English equivalent meaning of the word along with some constraints lists and is to be used in creating UNL expression of output. UNL Relations are the building blocks of UNL expressions. The existence of UNL expressions relation is found in between two UWs of sentence. Relation between the words is drawn from a set of predefined relations. The UNL attributes are attached with UWs to provide additional information like tense, numbers etc. to complete the UNL expressions [1]. A set of analysis rules is to be used to generate UNL expressions from Bangla locative case sentences. The EnConverter [1], [2] is a language independent parse that provides synchronously a framework for morphological, syntactic and semantic analyses. EnConverter operates on the nodes of the Node-list through its windows. EnConverter analyses a sentence using the Word Dictionary, and enconversion Rules. It retrieves relevant dictionary entries from the word dictionary, operates on nodes in the Node-list by applying enconversion rules, and generates semantic networks of UNL by consulting the Knowledge Base. It generates UNL expressions from sentences of a native language using enconversion rules by finding the most Manuscript received August 8, 2013; revised December 12, 2013. Nawab Y. Ali and Ameer A. are with East West University, Dhaka, dmaa730@gmail.com In Fig. 1, aoj is the UNL relation which indicates "thing with attribute"; plc is another UNL relation which indicates "a place where an event occurs"; @entry and @ present are UNL attributes which indicate the main verb and tense information; and attribute @pl indicates number information.This organization of this paper is determined as following: The literature, which is related to the UNL structure and format of dictionary is illustrated in Section II.

“…To overcome this problem, United Nations launched Universal Networking Language project [10] in 1996. The result of the project is universal networking language (UNL), a language neutral specification, and a universal parser specification [11]. The goal is to eliminate the massive task of translation between two languages and reduce language to language translation to a one time conversion to UNL.…”

“…All these are key factors for preparing Bangla word dictionary, enconversion and deconversion rules in order to convert a natural language sentence (here Bangla sentence) into UNL expressions. Secondly, we have rigorously gone through the Bangla grammar [7,8,9], Verb and roots (Vowel ended and Consonant Ended) [7,8,10], Morphological Analysis [10,11,12], Primary suffixes [7,8,12], Cases and their inflexions [8,13], construction of Bangla sentence [9] based on semantic structure. Using above references we extort ideas about Bangla grammar for morphological and semantic analysis in order to prepare Bangla word dictionary (for root, root word suffix etc), morphological rules and enconversion rules in the format of UNL provided by the UNL center of the UNDL Foundation.…”

The Universal Networking Language (UNL) deals with the communication across nations of different languages and involves with many different related discipline such as linguistics, epistemology, computer science etc. It helps to overcome the language barrier among people of different nations to solve problems emerging from current globalization trends and geopolitical interdependence. Case structure analysis forms the foundation for any natural language processing task. In this paper we propose the computational analysis of the Bangla case structure and conversion of Bangla sentence to UNL expression. We also provide the implementation of our analysis taking one of the cases as an example.

“…So, the meaning of the word varies for its different transformations. For example, if we consider "Ki&"(do) as a root word then after adding ÕB" we get the word "Kwi" [6,8] which means a work done by some one(first person , present tense). Similarly after adding "Av", we get the word "Kiv".…”

Abstract-The usage of native language through Internet is highly demanding now a day due to rapidly increase of Internet based application in daily needs. It is important to read all information in Bangla from the internet. Universal Networking Language (UNL) addressed this issue in most of languages. It helps to overcome the language barrier among people of different nations to solve problems emerging from current globalization trends and geopolitical interdependence. In this paper we propose a work that aims to contribute with morphological analysis of those Bangla words from which we obtain roots and Primary suffixes and developing of grammatical attributes for roots and Primary suffixes that can be used to prepare Bangla word dictionary and Enconversion/Deconversion rules for Natural Language Processing(NLP).
