NORMALIZATION OF KAZAKH LANGUAGE WORDS

Annotation

Subject of Research. Models and existing algorithms for normalization of natural language words are considered. The paper describes algorithms for automatic selection of the basic principles for a number of natural languages and possible ways of the normal word form synthesis for the Kazakh language. The research is aimed at creation of a complete classification for the Kazakh language ending system and development of a normalization algorithm for words based on the proposed classification approach for endings and suffixes. Method. Word formation analysis by applying endings for all Kazakh language parts of speech was carried out; a classification of endings and suffixes was presented. The paper discusses all kinds of placement options for endings and suffixes. The total number of various suffixes is 26 526 units and the endings is 3 565 units. All considered types are lexically and semantically valid, but some of them are not applicable. Only those, that are most commonly used, are added to the affix base. The order, that the affixes are added to the base, is presented using sets. Thus, the base is correctly selected. The study does not examine word-forming suffixes, as they change the word stem and contextual interpretation. Basically, word-forming suffixes are added to nouns. Main Results. A complete classification system for endings and suffixes of the Kazakh language has been developed. Deterministic finite automata for various parts of speech are created using all possible options, adding suffixes and endings, taking into account the morphological and lexical features of the Kazakh language grammar. A lexicon-free stemming algorithm is developed using the proposed classification system for endings of the Kazakh language. A normalization system has been implemented, proving the operability of the developed algorithm without a dictionary. The algorithm implementation was tested on the Kazakh language corpus. Punctuation and stop words were initially removed from the specified corpus. Practical Relevance. The results of the work can find application in the text analysis and normalization (lemmatization), as well as in information retrieval systems, in machine translation from the Kazakh language, and other applied problems.
