Syntactic Analysis Based on Morphological Characteristic Features of the Romanian Language

TL;DR

This paper presents DIASEXP, a real-time syntactic analysis system for Romanian that leverages morphological features like endings and prepositions to understand sentence structure, with potential applicability to other languages like French.

Contribution

The paper introduces a novel real-time syntactic analysis method for Romanian based on morphological features, and develops the DIASEXP system for natural language dialogue understanding.

Findings

DIASEXP can perform syntactic analysis of Romanian sentences.

The approach utilizes morphological features for real-time processing.

Potential applicability to other languages such as French.

Abstract

This paper refers to the syntactic analysis of phrases in Romanian, as an important process of natural language processing. We will suggest a real-time solution, based on the idea of using some words or groups of words that indicate grammatical category; and some specific endings of some parts of sentence. Our idea is based on some characteristics of the Romanian language, where some prepositions, adverbs or some specific endings can provide a lot of information about the structure of a complex sentence. Such characteristics can be found in other languages, too, such as French. Using a special grammar, we developed a system (DIASEXP) that can perform a dialogue in natural language with assertive and interogative sentences about a "story" (a set of sentences describing some events from the real life).
