</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Inflected Words, with the same accentual schemer and word lengthy are grouped together forming a set of small dictionary-trees, &amp;quot;cultivated in a two dimentional...garden&amp;quot;, minimizing thus the search time (Fig.3).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> RESULTS - This module is best fitted to the batch version of our system, but it can be used in the interactive version~ as well.</Paragraph>

COMPUTATIONAL DETAILS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Lexi+anis&amp;quot; modules are written in &amp;quot;Pascal&amp;quot; programming language. This software runs under NOS operating system on a Cyber 171 main frame computer. Top-down design and structured programming guarantee the portability o+ this product. null The system uses about 35 Kilowords of the Cyber computer memory (60bits/word) and it requires 12 seconds &amp;quot;compilation time&amp;quot;. The batch version classifies the words at a rate o+ 110 word classes per second.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> AIMM_IP~TIONS Lexifanis is a complete software tool which assigns classes to isolated words entered by the user or, alternatively, to all the words of an input text. This system can be useful to a variety of applications, some of which are listed below. The modularity in its design and implementation, along with the generality of the concepts implemented guarantee a property to our system : it can be easily integrated into various software systems.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The most apparent application o+ Lexi~anis is, in Lexicography, the generation of &amp;quot;morpheme-based&amp;quot; dictionaries and the generation of lemmata.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Lexifanis may serve as a background in a spelling checking and error detection package , or any &amp;quot;writers aid&amp;quot; software system.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Finally, Machine Translation woulO be another major area of application where Lexifanis may be included, as a module or process, in an &amp;quot;expert system&amp;quot;.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> EPILO6~JE ... we have presented a software tool, ~hich assigns grammatical classes to the 95-98% of the words o+ a given text. This system performs suffix analysis ~o assign classes to all the greek words. For the first time accentual scheme has been proved useful in the classification of greek words. Moreover, ambiguities inherent to the suffix morphology of greek words can be resolved without any stem dictionary ...</Paragraph>
