Arabic Morphological Analyzer with Agglutinative Affix Morphemes and Fusional Concatenation Rules

Current concatenative morphological analyzers consider prefix, suffix and stem morphemes based on lexicons of morphemes, and morpheme concatenation rules that determine whether prefix-stem, stem-suffix, and prefix-suffix concatenations are allowed. Existing affix lexicons contain extensive redundancy, suffer from inconsistencies, and require significant manual work to augment with clitics and partial affixes if needed. Unlike traditional work, our method considers Arabic affixes as fusional and agglutinative, i.e. composed of one or more morphemes, introduces new compatibility rules for affix-affix concatenations, and refines the lexicons of the SAMA and BAMA analyzers to be smaller, less redundant, and more consistent. It also automatically and perfectly solves the correspondence problem between the segments of a word and the corresponding tags, e.g. part of speech and gloss tags.
