Word splitting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Look up word splitting in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Word splitting is the process of parsing concatenated text (i.e. text that contains no spaces or other word separators) to infer where word breaks exist.

For example, "bedandbreakfast" => "bed" "and" "breakfast". Word splitting is language dependent.

Word splitting may also refer to the process of hyphenation.
