Not understand in Morphology in NLP
I read a book in "Natural Language Processing (NLP)" and I need somebody to explain to me the following statement with examples.
Now my questions is: -
A word’s surface form is its graphical (in written text) or spoken form.
Now my questions is: -
What is meaning "A word’s surface form" ? with examples.
There any fourms or like this experts-exchange web site I can ask questions about NLP ?
The "words surface form" is basically how the word looks or is pronounced.
It's distinct from the word, because of regional differences in spelling and pronunciation.
For instance, in English:
grey
gray
Both mean the color gray, but they're spelled differently.
Or
There
They're
They're both pronounced similarly, but it's two different words.
So the "surface form" is what you start with before you've done any analysis to determine what is actually meant.
Hope this helps,
