Automatic syllabification for Spanish using lemmatization and derivation to solve the prefix’s prominence issue

作者:

Highlights:

• We describe the problem of the syllabification when the word has a prefix.

• An algorithm that identifies the prefix’s prominence and applies the right syllabification.

• The automatic syllabification is possible using a specific lemmatizer.

• The algorithm uses the information provided by a knowledge database about derivation.

• We use information about prefixes’ current productivity and word frequency.
