dc.description.abstract MXit lingo is an abbreviated form of written English used by children, teenagers and young adults when communicating using MXit as a medium over cell phones. A stemmer for MXit lingo would enable a search engine such as Lucene to index stored MXit conversations for later searching. A MXit stemmer would have to cater for the new grammatical and linguistic conventions which have developed in MXit lingo. For example, a word which contains a trailing -er may have the -er changed to an -a. Thus the word “ova” can be used in place of “over” and “unda” can be used in place of “under”. This paper describes the creation of a Lucene stemmer for MXit lingo. It also itemizes the conventions which have been noted in MXit lingo. en_US
