Description
Summary:Over the past decades, computer revolution has opened up many possibilities for new field of investigation. With greater accessibility to information and lowering cost of powerful computers, this has spawned new efforts towards understanding complex tasks. Lexicon in particular has long been recognized as interesting and challenging because of its complexness. It is the knowledge of individual words in the language that has been perceived as central component for all types of natural language processing system. In this paper we present an algorithm to create an automatic lexicon generator in order to generate lexicon from an input document by making use of Apple Pie Parser. The lexicon generated managed to reduce significant amount of time and manpower drastically. Psycholinguists as well as computational linguists can benefit from this automatic lexicon construction.
