Does anyone know where I can find a public-domain or shareware
morphological anaylyzer for English to use in a concordancer?
Thanks!

Greetings! I am posting this inquiry for Sergei Atamas (satamas@umabnet.ab.umd.edu), a research associate at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. His field is molecular biology, and his work involves comparing DNA strings using various algorithms. I don't understand the details well enough to pass them along. At any rate, one such algorithm relies upon frequencies with which the letters G, A, T, and C occur in the DNA strings. He would like to explore the analogous use of letter (sound) frequencies in natural language texts. Hence this posting. Specifically, Sergei wonders if any Humanist subscribers could help steer him to recent literature concerning text identification based on letter frequencies. Any suggestions could be sent directly to him at the above address, or to me and I'll pass them along. He would also be interested in collaborative work if this research connects with the work of any linguists or text processing specialists. He observes that very often work in one field would actually help work in a far-removed field, if only people knew what was going on over there. George Fowler
