Morphological analysis

Morphological analysis is the deep linguistic analysis process that determines lexical and grammatical features of each token in addition to the part-of-speech.

The result of the analysis is a list of Universal features.

For example, the morphological analysis of the first token of this sentence:

I saw a dandelion on my lawn.

gives:

Case=Nom|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs

which is a list of feature-value pairs corresponding to:

Pair Feature label Feature description Value label Value description
Case=Nom Case Case Nom Nominative
Number=Sing Number Number Sing Singular
Person=1 Person Person 1 First
PronType=Prs PronType Pronoun type Prs Personal
