Semantic Role Extraction and General Concept Understanding in Malayalam using Paninian Grammar

The collection of methods by which human languages convey meaning is called meaning structure of a language. It includes many conventional form-meaning associations, word-order regularities, tense systems, conjunctions and quantifiers, and a fundamental predicate-argument structure. In the Dravidian language, Malayalam, the Karaka theory, is useful for both the syntax analysis and semantic analysis of Malayalam sentences. Here proposes a system that builds semantic structure from a given Malayalam text using semantic roles (karakas) extraction. Semantic structure can be utilized for solving many language computing tasks such as Conceptual Indexing, Conceptual searching and retrieval, automatic question answering, automatic text summarization, syntactic and semantic analysis of Malayalam documents, etc.
