Abstract

Making use of software engineering paradigms such as object-oriented programming in the field of natural language processing has facilitated the implementation of real-life systems for different problems related to natural language. These systems are developed with less cost and within a limited time considering three main constraints: robustness, flexibility and adaptability. This paper presents the development of a morphological analyzer1 for the Arabic language that is build on a hybrid representation including object-oriented programming, procedural programming, rules to express heuristic knowledge and strategies to organize the use of the system rules. The implementation of the morphological analyzer has been done using a knowledge-based system.
