Abstract
This paper describes a large-scale system that performs morphological analysis and generation of on-line Arabic words represented in the standard orthography, whether fully voweled, partially vowtied or unvoweled. Analyses display the root, pattern and all other affixes together witIt feature tags indicating part of speech, person, nmnbet, mood, voice, aspect, etc. The system is based on lexicons and rules from an earlier KIMMO-style twodevcl morphological system, reworked extensively usiug Xerox Finite-State Morphology tools. The result is an Arabic Finite-State Lexical Transducer that is applied with the same runtime code used for English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and Italian lexical transducers.
