Abstract

We examine the formation of multi-word expressions (MWE) and reduplicated words in the Mizo language, basing on a news corpus (reduplication is a repetition of a linguistic unit, such as morpheme, affix, word, or clause). To study the structure of reduplication, we follow lexical and morphological approaches, which have been used for the study of other Indian languages, such as Manipuri, Bengali, Odia, Marathi etc. We also show the effect of these phenomena on natural language processing tasks for the Mizo language. To develop an algorithm for identification of reduplicated words in the Mizo language, we manually identified MWEs and reduplicated words and then studied their structural and semantic properties. The results were verified by linguists, experts in the Mizo language.
