Abstract

This invention improves information retrieval and the precision of language processing by providing an apparatus and method for organizing, utilizing, analyzing, and generating morphological data. The apparatus and method involve locating a stored lexical expression representative of a candidate word found in a stream of natural language text, identifying a paradigm for the candidate word based upon the stored lexical expression, and applying transforms contained within the identified paradigm to the candidate word.
