| Abstract | This paper presents TRmorph, a two-level morphological analyzer for Turkish.TRmorph is a fairly complete and accurate morphological analyzer for Turkish.However, strength of TRmorph is neither in its performance, nor in its novelty.The main feature of this analyzer is its availability. It has completely beenimplemented using freely available tools and resources, and the two-leveldescription is also distributed with a license that allows others to use andmodify it freely for different applications. To our knowledge, TRmorph is thefirst freely available morphological analyzer for Turkish. This makes TRmorphparticularly suitable for applications where the analyzer has to be changed insome way, or as a starting point for morphological analyzers for similarlanguages. TRmorph's specification of Turkish morphology is relativelycomplete, and it is distributed with a large lexicon. Along with thedescription of how the analyzer is implemented, this paper provides anevaluation of the analyzer on two large corpora. |
