Abstract
We present in this paper a fast, broad-coverage, accurate morphological analyzer for Spanish words, MACO+, which is an extended and improved version of that described in (Acebo et al., 1994). The earlier version had two main flaws: it was not transportable, and it was too slow to enable massive text processing. The presented system not only overcomes those two flaws, but also offers improved coverage and accuracy. We also present two general part-of-speech taggers, which can be used to disambiguate the output of the morphological analyzer. All modules run in any Unix/Linux machine as a pipeline process and they may also be used inside the GATE environment for NLP (Cunningham et al., 1996). The system is currently being used to annotate the LexEsp corpus, a 5.5 million word corpus of Spanish, in a bootstrapping refining procedure. Initial evaluation and results are reported. Keywords: Morphological analysis, corpus linguistics, POS tagging, linguistic resources. 1 Introduction and Mot...
