1. An improved machine translation system having a natural language source module for accepting externally introduced text in said source language, said module including a lexical database, said system being broadly based upon the concept of Chaos and conducts a divergent search in the source language, a morpheme root database, and further including a morphological word stripping means, said means to be implemented on a data processing device, said system source module includes means implementing a method having the steps whereby each of the words in a subject clause, phrase, or sentence of said externally introduced source language text are individually compared first to data in said lexical database and if said individual words are not found among said data in said lexical database then means are provided whereby said words are subjected to said morphological word stripping means, said stripping means being directed to the affixes of said words and first to the stripping of suffixes, if any, from each said word followed by the step of comparing an individual stripped word, in the absence of that particular word's stripped suffix, with the data in said morpheme root database, which comparison normally proceeds downward through descending length character strings until a morpheme root match is found, further stripping and comparison with said database are repeated as often as required to find a root match.
