Morphological Annotation System in The Corpus of Internet Information Texts in The Uzbek Language

Abstract

Morphological and syntactic annotation is one of the most important types of annotation at the current stage of development of text corpora because it is clearly applied in areas such as lexical and grammatical development. Morphological annotation of language units in Uzbek was done manually and semi-automatically. We offered special tags for the language corpus, if we identify the most common affixes of combinations speech parts and suffixes in words in Uzbek and analyze them with marked tags, it can serve as a foundation for the further development of language corpora. More than 70 special tags were selected for morphological annotation, and speech units were annotated in the corpus. Search and analysis results are displayed in 3 different ways in the user interface: 1) only by word search: in this case, any word is written in the search line. If the analyzed word is tagged in the corpus, it will appear with all its grammatical markers. 2) word+tag search: at this stage, the morphological or semantic feature of a word in a certain word group can be analyzed. For example, if a word with a specific morphological indicator is analyzed, a word is written in the search line, and a tag is selected from the list of morphological tags. At the time of choosing a morphological indicator, a word group must be specified. 3) search by tag only: this option is used when the researcher needs speech units belonging to a certain morphological index or a semantic group in a certain word group.
