NLP Language Processing Levels VTU Final

The document outlines five levels of language processing in Natural Language Processing (NLP): Morphological Analysis, Syntactic Analysis, Semantic Analysis, Discourse Integration, and Pragmatic Analysis. Each level serves a distinct purpose, such as understanding word structure, checking grammar, resolving meaning, ensuring coherence, and interpreting intent. Applications of these analyses include machine translation, chatbots, and virtual assistants.

Levels of Language Processing in NLP

1. Morphological Analysis
Definition: Deals with breaking down words into morphemes (smallest units of meaning).
Purpose: Helps understand word structure and formation.
Example: 'unbelievable' = un- (prefix) + believe (root) + -able (suffix).
Application: Used in stemming, lemmatization, and spell checking.

2. Syntactic Analysis
Definition: Also called parsing; checks grammar and structure of sentences.
Purpose: Identifies how words form phrases and how phrases relate.
Example: 'The dog chased the cat.' S NP (The dog) + VP (chased the cat).
Application: Used in machine translation, question answering, and syntax checkers.

3. Semantic Analysis
Definition: Focuses on word and sentence meanings (literal sense).
Purpose: Resolves ambiguity, assigns word meanings.
Example: 'bank' river bank vs financial bank depending on sentence.
Application: Used in information retrieval, chatbots, word sense disambiguation.

4. Discourse Integration
Definition: Considers the meaning of a sentence in context of previous ones.
Purpose: Handles references and coherence across sentences.
Example: 'Ravi went to the store. He bought a book.' 'He' refers to 'Ravi'.
Application: Used in co-reference resolution, story summarization, dialogue systems.

5. Pragmatic Analysis
Definition: Interprets speakers actual intent using context and world knowledge.
Purpose: Infers implied meanings beyond literal content.
Example: 'Can you pass the salt?' is a polite request, not a literal question.
Application: Used in virtual assistants, context-aware systems, and speech act recognition.
