MAP: Cambridge/Edinburgh Morphological Analyzer and
Dictionary System
areas/nlp/morph/map/
MAP lets the user create lexicons for English (and other languages)
suitable for use in a natural language parsing systems. In addition
to simple look up, the system includes a rule driven morphological
analyzer. Thus words to be held in the lexicon in stem and affix form
(e.g. "move", and "ed", "ing"), and the morphological analyzer can
segment given full words into their basic components (e.g. "moved" to
"move ed" and "travelling" to "travel ing"). thus cutting down the
number of required entries in the lexicon. The work is done within
the framework of general feature grammars and two-level morphology.
MAP is a more powerful representation formalism than KIMMO
two-level finite state transducers, which offer only finite state
morphosyntax and finite state morphographemics.
