Abstract

Processing morphology of Semitic languages requires more complicated systems. Arabic language, for example, exhibits very complex but very regular morphological structure that greatly affect its automation. Many approaches were proposed to analyze Arabic language at the morphological level. This paper studies the rule firing policies for Arabic rule-based stemmer. Proposed firing policies include the single, pair, triple and quadruple approaches. Generalization of these approaches was also investigated.
