Hindi Derivational Morphological Analyzer

Hindi is an Indian language which is relatively rich in morphology. A few morphological analyzers of this language have been developed. However, they give only inflectional analysis of the language. In this paper, we present our Hindi derivational morphological analyzer. Our algorithm upgrades an existing inflectional analyzer to a derivational analyzer and primarily achieves two goals. First, it successfully incorporates derivational analysis in the inflectional analyzer. Second, it also increases the coverage of the inflectional analysis of the existing inflectional analyzer.
