Abstract
A detailed morphological description of word forms in any language is a necessary condition for a successful automatic processing of linguistic data. The paper focuses on a new description of morphological categories, mainly on the subcategorization of parts of speech in Czech within the NovaMorf project.
NovaMorf focuses on the description of morphological properties of Czech wordforms in a more compact and consistent way and with a higher explicative power than approaches used so far. It also aims at the unification of diverse approaches to morphological annotation of Czech.
NovaMorf approach will be reflected in a new morphological dictionary to be exploited for a new automatic morphological analysis (and disambiguation) of corpora of contemporary Czech.
