HRMARS - The marking of word classes (GK) has been widely studied and applied in various ways, particularly for European languages. However, certain features of the Malay language—such as words containing multiple parts of speech—make it more challenging for Asian learners, especially those learning Malay as a second language. This study shows that the accuracy of GK marking in Malay is influenced by two key elements: the correct placement of new words and the addition of newly coined terms. These elements contribute to higher precision in GK identification. For future research, it is important to address these issues by considering the use of plural forms, as such forms frequently appear in news sources. Additionally, incorporating social media corpora could be beneficial. Although these platforms often feature informal language and contain noisy data, the information shared is fast-paced and up-to-date, offering valuable linguistic insights.
