Multiword corpus of the Holy Quran

Abstract

Text of Quran has been served in many forms. Recent attempts have presented such serves in corpus form. However no previous attempt made to deal with multiword in Quran in corpus form. This paper is based on presenting multiword corpus of Quran based on roots of the word rather than the word itself. This combines the relations between same words in addition to other words with common roots. This enriches the corpus since Arabic language word structure is based on root of the word. This corpus should enable future research in going deep in analyzing Quran ontology, Arabic language studies and inter relations between Quran and other Islamic resources, e.g. Hadith, Fiqh, Usool etc.
