Abstract
This paper shows how morphological analysis contributes to solving the challenges posed by the development of a spelling checker for an agglutinative language like isiZulu. It demonstrates how the incremental implementation of affix removal rules can be used to derive word forms and enhance the lexical and error recall of the system. In the case of the spelling checker the strategies used are mainly based on the use of regular expressions, and more specifically on a process of stemming.
