Morphological disambiguation rules for Uyghur language

Abstract

In this paper, we present a rule based model for morphological disambiguation of Uyghur language. Morphological ambiguity is a challenging problem for agglutinative languages. Because there is a possibility a word takes unlimited number of suffixes. If that language has more suffixes, then the ambiguity problem gets more complex. Uyghur language is one of Turkic language that has more and complicated suffixes. At present we have defined some rules to disambiguate Uyghur morphology respecting to modern Uyghur language grammar. As a natural language, there are many cases exist and the researches in progress on more specific cases.
