Towards An Arabic Parser for Modern Scientific Text
Abstract: The present work reports our attempt in developing an Arabic Parser for modern scientific text. The parser is written in Definite Clause Grammar (DCG) and is targeted to be part of a machine translation system. The developing of the parser was a two-step process. In the first step, we acquired the rules that constitute a grammar for Arabic that gives a precise account of what it is for a sentence to be grammatical. The grammar covers a text from the domain of the agricultural extension documents. The second step was to implement the parser that assigns grammatical structure onto input sentence. Experiment on real extension document was performed. The paper will also describe our experience with the developed parser and results of its application on a real agricultural extension document.
