Word Formation in Natural Language Processing Systems
Proceedings of the Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Natural Language. Pages 704-705.
Abstract
Systems which process natural language require a reliable source of information about words. Not only must their lexical subsystems handle a large number of known words; they must also cope with coinages. The morphological principles underlying the notion "possible word" are under active study by linguists, and are articulated in the theory of word formation . This paper presents a technique for building lexical subsystems which embody these prin-ciples by emulating the behavior of word formation rules. These subsystems combine totally idiosyncratic lexical information, stored in a dictionary, with systematic information derived from word struc-ture. Applications for lexical subsystems built along the lines described here will be discussed.
