Exploring the Performance of Tagging for the Classical and the Modern Standard Arabic

Algorithm 1

Evaluating imperative verbs using the Stanford tagger.

The proposed algorithm

1. Obtain the text of the Holy Quran from [24] and remove the diacritics.

2. Install the full version of the Stanford Arabic model tagger from [25].

3. Have the text of the Holy Quran tagged.

4. Obtain a list of all imperative verbs in the Holy Quran from [2].

5. Find all words that have the tag VB ≡ imperative verb.

6. Compare the two lists; the one we obtained in step 5 and the list we obtained in step 4 to find the correctly tagged imperative verb.

7. Find the accuracy based on the information that is obtained in step 6.
