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 |
