Constructing an automaton for automated analysis of agglutinative languages comprises: constructing an affix automaton for each of a plurality of affix types of an agglutinative language, where each of the affix types is associated with one or more affixes associated with a morphological concept; combining any of the affix automatons to form a plurality of template automatons, where each of the template automatons is patterned after any of a plurality of agglutination templates of any of the affix types for the language; and combining the template automatons into a master automaton.
