Lemmatization for phrases is performed by consulting this dictionary. Ehara et al.

However, because the lemmatization methods proposed by Sanduijav et al. (2005) and Ehara et al.

Their method can be used for nouns, adjectives, and numerals, because the suffixes that are concatenated with these are almost the same and the inflection types are also the same.

Additionally, we do not use the vowel insertion rule, if the entered phrase is detected as a loanword phrase. The reason is that vowel elimination never occurs in noun loanwords. Third, unlike Khaltar et al. 2006, we targeted adjective and numeral phrases. Because the suffixes concatenated with nouns, adjectives, and numerals are almost the same, the lemmatization method for noun phrases can also be used for adjective and numeral phrases without any modifications.

Thus, we produced 23 rules for loanwords that end with \"\u0430\u0446\u0438\", \"\u044f\u0446\u0438\", or \"\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\". Figure 6 shows a fragment of our suffix segmentation rule for loanwords. For example, for the loanword phrase \"\u044d\u043a\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0439\u043d (ecology + genitive)\", we use the segmentation rule for suffix \"\u0438\u0439\u043d (genitive)\" in Figure 6 . We remove the suffix \"\u0438\u0439\u043d (genitive)\" and add \"\u0438\" to the end of the content word. As a result, the noun \"\u044d\u043a\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438 (ecology)\" is correctly extracted. ",

If they are both consonants, we determine that a vowel was eliminated. However, a number of Mongolian words end with two consonants inherently and, therefore, Khaltar et al. (2006) referred to a textbook on the Mongolian grammar (Ts, 2002) to produce 12 rules to determine when to insert a vowel between two consecutive consonants. We also use these rules as our vowel insertion rule. Khaltar et al. (2006) proposed rules for extracting loanwords from Mongolian corpora. Words that satisfy one of seven conditions are extracted as loanwords. Of the seven conditions, we do not use the condition that extracts a word ending with \"consonants + \u0438\" as a loanword because it was not effective for lemmatization purposes in preliminary study.",

Second, we compare the MAP of our method with those of Sanduijav et al. (2005) and Khaltar et al. (2006) . Our method was more effective than the method of Sanduijav et al. (2005) for both KQ and LQ. However, the difference between Khaltar et al. (2006) and our method was small for KQ and our method was less effective than Khaltar et al.(2006) for LQ. This is because although we enhanced the lemmatization for verbs, adjectives, numerals, and loanwords, the effects were overshadowed by a large number of queries comprising conventional Mongolian nouns. Finally, our method did not outperform the method using the correct lemmatization. We used the paired t-test for statistical testing, which investigates whether the difference in performance is meaningful or simply because of chance (Keen, 1992) . Table 3 shows the results, in which \"<\" and \"<<\" indicate that the difference of two results was significant at the 5% and 1% levels, respectively, and \"-\" indicates that the difference of two results was not significant.",
