3 Kazakh Phase parsing 3.1 Kazakh Morphology Morphological analysis is an important task in natural language processing research, which was
developed for different languages, included the Porter Stemmer for English[10], PC Kimmo for
Finnish[11],Oflazer(1994) and Gülşen,E.(2004)for Turkish[12-13], Beesley,K.R. (1996) [14]for
Arabic,
The Kazakh morphological system uses a large number of suffixes and a small number of
prefixes. Every word has a root, or a stem[15].
The rootis the core of the entire word structure and it conveys its basic meaning.
A stemis a new word generated by adding zero or more various affixes to the root, and it
expresses the complete meaning of the word.
Affixesare divided into inflectional affixes and derivational affixes. Inflectional affixes, when
they are added to a word, they do not cause grammatical changes, and do not lead to meaning
changes . Derivational affixes change the meaning of the word when added to a root word.
