Analysis of Noun, Pronoun and Adjective Morphology for NLization of Punjabi with EUGENE

Morphological analysis of various parts of speech is an important activity in order to design a machine translation system for a language. This paper describes morphological analysis of Punjabi nouns, pronouns and adjectives for developing Universal Networking Language (UNL) based Machine Translation (MT) system for this Language. All headwords which are involved in UNL-to-NL dictionary always have some attributes and relation label, by using them, system is able to generate the sentence very close to its natural form. The phonetic properties of the language are handled by the noun, adjective, pronoun and verb morphology of the NLizer like, EUGENE (dEep-to-sUrface GENErator). This application software makes use of inflection paradigms during the modification process. These inflection paradigms are designed on the basis of analysis of Punjabi morphology, that is, EUGENE made morphological modifications of headword to various forms on the basis of its gender, number, person, case, paradigm information suggested by its attributes, relation, etc. semantic information. In this paper, the categories of morphology that have been identified for the purpose of conversion of UNL expression to equivalent Punjabi language sentences and explanation and implementation of noun, adjective, pronoun and verb morphologies are described in detail.
