Abstract: This work proposes a noun analyser program, which is a full-length translation surface for Telugu nouns. It compiles and analyses nouns of Telugu language into their roots and their constituent postpositions along with their grammatical properties. Grammatical properties at word level include finding a number, gender, person, and other associated features. The method employed in this paper is based on the suffix-order pattern technique is used to develop a computational model for morphological analysis of nouns in Telugu. The suffix-order pattern is a new technique in linguistic computation. The current work is an implementation of a word-level translation surface for Telugu. It is a Java-based application developed for analysing Telugu nouns. The procedure is theoretically justified and practically executed for a variety of words related to Telugu nouns. The present proposal is a demonstration of XML-based repository for all the root words of different categories of Telugu nouns. It is an optimal organisation of a linguistic database and its performance in the computational environment is highly appreciated.
Keywords: natural language processing; linguistic computation; suffix-order pattern; translation surface; morphology; machine translation.
