← Language & CommunicationIn computational lexicography, why does parsing a corpus to automatically extract candidate headwords often yield inaccurate frequency counts for morphologically complex languages such as Turkish?
A)Ambiguous part-of-speech tagging is resolved randomly.
B)Rare word senses bias overall frequencies.
C)Suffix stripping distorts semantic analysis.
D)Agglutination creates spurious independent entries.✓
💡 Explanation
Agglutination in languages like Turkish creates many surface forms from a single root, causing a basic frequency count of headwords to inflate the occurrence of these surface forms as if they were independent lexical items; because the morphological analyzer treats each inflected word as distinct, therefore the frequency of the root is underestimated, rather than semantic analysis being the primary issue.
