## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Arabic Morphology Generation Using a Concatenative Strategy](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sforza-2000-arabic-morphology-generation-concatenative-strategy/)** *(2000 · 67 citations)* The paper addresses the large number of word forms that must be produced when generating Arabic verbs. Arabic builds stems by interleaving a consonantal root with a vowel melody, and then adds prefixes and suffixes for tense, mood, voice, person, number and gender. Earlier computational work, mostly two-level and…
2. **[Feature Optimization for Predicting Readability of Arabic L1 and L2](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saddiki-2018-feature-optimization-predicting-readability-arabic/)** *(2018 · 29 citations)* The paper addresses automatic readability assessment for Arabic, a morphologically rich language with relatively few resources.
3. **[Developing ARET: An NLP-based Educational Tool Set for Arabic Reading Enhancement](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/maamouri-2012-developing-aret-nlp-based-educational/)** *(2012 · 15 citations)* Learners of Modern Standard Arabic struggle to read because written Arabic usually omits short vowels and other diacritics, and its morphology is rich.
4. **[An Arabic Slot Grammar Parser](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mccord-2007-arabic-slot-grammar-parser/)** *(2007 · 10 citations)* The paper presents ASG, a rule-based dependency parser for Arabic built in the Slot Grammar (SG) framework, which already had grammars for English, German, and four Romance languages.
5. **[The Arabic Noun System Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/soudi-2024-arabic-noun-system-generation/)** *(2024 · 3 citations)* Arabic broken plurals change the stem internally (rajul → rijaAl), which makes them hard for morphological generators.
