Abstract -
Arabic language considers the most complex
language. It widely prevalent among the population
and it contains a large vocabulary and grammar
rather than other languages, so it has a lot of
challenges; one of these challenges, it is how to
predict of the correct meaning of the preposition in
the word which represents as stop words, whereas
it there are several of prepositions which have
more than one meaning according its location in
the sentence. The most information retrieval
systems are facing many challenges when is
applied in the Arabic Texts due to the large
difference between Arabic languages with other
language.
The preposition has a great importance in the
Arabic language due to its effect at sentence
meaning. To predict the suitable meaning of
prepositions, there are also some rules must be
followed to identify the correct meaning in the
sentence. In this work, we proposed novel
approaches for dealing with these prepositions.
