9. The system of claim 8 , wherein a comparison of the frequency of occurrence of the string relative to the frequencies of occurrence of the input text and the neighboring candidate word is a weighted comparison.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein if the input text is not recognized as the input affix, the compound word module creates a string resulting from a concatenation of the input text and the neighboring candidate word; determines a frequency of occurrence of the string in the lexicon; compares the frequency of occurrence of the string to frequencies of occurrence of the input text and the neighboring candidate word separately; and if the frequency of occurrence of the string exceeds the frequencies of occurrence of the input text and the neighboring candidate word separately, the compound word module concatenates the input text and the neighboring candidate word as a concatenated word, and replaces the string with the concatenated word.
