Abstract

Morphological Analysis provides grammatical information of a word from its suffix. Morphological (Morph) Analyser is a tool for the said purpose. It is an integral part of a successful Natural Language Processing (NLP) system. This paper discusses a suffixal Morph Analyser for Nepali Nouns (MANN). This suffixal analyser is based on finite state grammar approach. The suffixal noun morphology of Nepali is well studied, and can be captured in regular grammar through finite state automata. Based on the linguistic rules, MANN identifies noun tokens and tags, their grammatical labels, and generates separate resources like Lexicon. Based on this a tool is developed and is working perfectly with Nepali nouns.
