Abstract
At least one speech input is received and at least one token is generated from speech input. Morphemes of the tokens are reduced to at least one feature. Furthermore, an inflection type of the token is identified. At least one dictionary is searched for entries comprising features that match the features reduced from the morphemes. At least one lexical feature structure is generated for the token by inserting at least one morphological feature associated with the inflection type into the entry feature. An output is provided comprising at least one lexical feature structure.
