Affixes, etc. in agglutinating languages

[Graham Ranger]

Hello,

I'm working on a highly agglutinating (agglutinative?) language. I'd like to be able to identify the lemmata, which are often hidden inside prefixes and suffixes. Is there a method to identify recurring sequences of letters inside a word? I'm thinking of an equivalent to the n-grams tool, only for characters, but I cannot seem to tweak the token definitions, etc. to produce this.

Many thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

Best regards,

Graham.

Hi Graham,

I'm working on full AI integration into AntConc, which might be a perfect fit for this kind of problem. Can you give me three different examples of inputs and expected outputs for different use cases?

Laurence.

Thanks Laurence! It's a team project... I hope to be back shortly with potential input / output examples after I've been able to discuss things with colleagues.

Best,

Graham.
