of constant letters; three, four, or five. The stem is built from a root and a pattern. Stemming is the process of removing any affixes and extract the root or the pattern. Deciding that a letter or serious of letters is belong to the stem or to an affix is a challenge one. Thus, in this paper addresses the problem of extraction root or stem from a word. Different algorithms are used to achieve a reasonable result. 3 Stemming Applications Stemming becomes a part of most of text processing

Experimental Setup Preprocessing Data Preprocessing is actually a trail to improve text classification by removing worthiness information. In our work document preprocessing involve removing punctuation marks, numbers, words written in another language, normalize the documents by (replace the letter ("أ إ آ ") with (ا""), replace the letter (ء ؤ" ") with (""ا), and replace the letter("ى") with (""ا). Finally removing the stop words, which are words that can be found in any text like prepositions

1. Augmented- "becoming larger in size or value." ...."and my small earnings from the flocked were only a little augmented by my mornings' work at the rectory and occasional service at the Hall, when they needed extra hands. 2.

"All this day I have felt a grudging of ague, and now it rises and my head pounds

COURSEWORK 1 Topic 4: Morphology Question 2: The knowledge of morphology can contribute to our understanding of English vocabulary and grammar better and help us in our future role as an English teacher. Morphology is the study of the system of rules underlying our knowledge of the structure of words (Kristin Denham, Anne Lobeck, 2013). It is also known as the branch of linguistics that studies the structure of words and different patterns of word formation. In this essay, I will discuss

Activity 1 - Mandatory After reading the suggested sources of information, do the following task. Answer the following using your own words: 1. What is inflection? How does it work? Give two examples of inflection in the English language. Do not use examples from the materials you read. It is a word formation process consisting in adding a “bound morpheme” to a word without changing its main meaning. It takes places because of syntactic needs, to illustrate let us take the following cases: • Ann

Morphology Analysis: Formal vs Less Formal Writing Word choice in writing is influenced by the context, just as is the case between formal speeches and informal ones. The kind of words in formal and less formal writing gravitates between academic and formal, depending on the context and the message being put across. The morphemes used in both formal (academic) and less formal (as is the case in newspapers), vary. Formal writing uses different word forms and morphemes, due to the strict nature of

Reader ____________________________________________________________________________ Our brave leader and my best friend, Robin, dead? No, It couldn’t be.

Knowledge of foreign language has recently turned into necessary to people to feel comfortable in the increasingly diverse global community. Also, while studying another language people study the culture of that country that makes the view of the person wider and gives additional development to the person. Because to study another language and culture gives one the powerful key to successful communication: knowing how, when, and why to say what to whom. Now every country tries to provide studying
