Abstract :
Morphological analysis is an important step in the process of Arabic language processing which became a must in today´s IT development. We present here a new approach for Arabic root extraction. Our algorithm outperforms most other morphological analysis algorithms; we achieved more reliable results with better performance and minimal storage. Our Morphological analyzer provides different levels of reliability and performance to support the needs of different applications. It also provides a separate stage which can be plugged easily in any other Morphological analyzer to improve its performance, and with no negative effect on its reliability.
