Systems and methods are provided for automated semantic role labeling for languages having complex morphology. In one aspect, a method for processing natural language text includes receiving as input a natural language text sentence comprising a sequence of white-space delimited words including inflicted words that are formed of morphemes including a stem and one or more affixes, identifying a target verb as a stem of an inflicted word in the text sentence, grouping morphemes from one or more inflicted words with the same syntactic role into constituents, and predicting a semantic role of a constituent for the target verb.
