Abstract

The paper presents a small survey on Punjabi morphological analyzer and generator, which does not give any morphological response to lexemes of Malawi dialect of Punjabi. This analyzer works well with the standard variety only. However, it fails to provide an answer when the input is colloquial. The random choice of approximately, (42 words/lexemes, e.g. ਕਾਤੋਂ/ ‘why’, ਉਂਈ/ ‘thus’, ਭà©à©°à¨¨à¨¹à©‹à¨£à¨¾/ ‘Unbearable’, ਥà©à©°à¨¨à©€/ ‘eating’, ਅੜੀ/ ‘stubborn’, ਭਨਾਲੀ/ ‘breaking’, ਮੰਨਲਾ/ ‘suppose’, ਖਿਜੀ/ ‘annoying’ etc.) is not trained either for the analyzer nor the generator. They are unidentified and unrecognized. In this regard, the schemes of SGMA (similar guidelines for morphological analyzer) or SMGMA (similar but modified guidelines for morphological analyzer) could adopt for booming the performance of Punjabi morphological analyzer and widening its scope in the future.
