Abstract
In the paper we address issues related to the morphology of the Uzbek language. In Uzbek, as in many other agglutinative languages, some single text-words correspond to sentences in non-agglutinative languages. Morphological processing is therefore a crucial operation in the automatic processing of Uzbek. We approach the theory of Uzbek morphology in terms of morphotactic and morphophonemic rules. We present the UZMORPP system of automatic morphological parsing for the Uzbek language. The Prolog implementation of this system is provided.
