Implementation of Malayalam Morphological Analyzer Based on Hybrid Approach

The Malayalam Morphological analyzer, which described in this paper, is developed based on the hybrid approach, i.e. combining methodologies of both paradigm and suffix stripping approaches. Lttoolbox, an important module in the Apertium package, acts as the back bone of this system. The analyzer program in Lttoolbox tokenizes the text in surface forms (lexical units as they appear in texts) and delivers, for each surface form, one or more lexical forms consisting of lemma, lexical category and morphological inflection information. This system also borrows the concepts of suffix stripping approach that would help a lot to improve the accuracy. The main objective of this system is to help the language students as well as common people.
