QuranMorph: Morphologically Annotated Quranic Corpus

Jun 22, 2025

To address the scarcity of high-quality morphologically annotated corpora for the Arabic Qur’an, this study constructs the first manually curated, fine-grained morphological corpus—annotated by three linguistics experts—comprising 77,429 word tokens. Morphological analysis leverages the Qabas lexicon for precise lemmatization and adopts the SAMA/Qabas framework to annotate 40 fine-grained part-of-speech categories, all rigorously validated through expert adjudication. The key contribution lies in enabling structured interoperability with over 100 Arabic lexical resources and corpora—including Qabas—thereby substantially improving morphological parsing accuracy and resource reusability for religious texts. This open-source corpus has been integrated into the SinaLab platform, establishing a new authoritative benchmark for Arabic computational linguistics and Qur’anic text research.
