A Two-Level Computer Formalism for the Analysis of Bantu Morphology An Application to Swahili
SWATWOL is a computer program which has been designed to analyze morphologically Standard Swahili texts. It is based on Koskenniemi's (1983) already well-known two-level model. A number of applications of this model on various languages exist already. Some of those are very ambitious and almost complete (Koskenniemi 1983; Karlsson 1992), others being still in various stages of development. The ...
متن کاملGenetic variation reveals large-scale population expansion and migration during the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples
The majority of sub-Saharan Africans today speak a number of closely related languages collectively referred to as 'Bantu' languages. The current distribution of Bantu-speaking populations has been found to largely be a consequence of the movement of people rather than a diffusion of language alone. Linguistic and single marker genetic studies have generated various hypotheses regarding the tim...
متن کاملUsing Syllables as Features in Morpheme Tagging in Swahili
Utilizing corpora to build morphological analyzers for the purposes of computational application has been addressed in many different ways. Methods for automated morphological analysis generally focus on segmentation from raw text, and ignore the actual learning of what morpheme features are present. Other methods are time-consuming and require a great deal of prior knowledge of the language su...
متن کاملWhen ethnology informs clinical medicine: non-Bantu peoples without apparent sickle cell disease in the Mbulu area of Northern Tanzania.
However, in the Mbulu area, a rural and very remote region between Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara in Northern Tanzania, three tribes of non-Bantu origin live among Bantu tribes 3-5 . The Southern Cushitic Iraqw (approximately 500 000 people), are subsistence farmers who probably migrated from Ethiopia several centuries ago 2,3 . The Southern Nilotic Datoga (100 000–200 000people) are nomadic pasto...
متن کاملOptimizing disambiguation in Swahili
It is argued in this paper that an optimal solution to disambiguation is a combination of linguistically motivated rules and resolution based on probability or heuristic rules. By disambiguation is here meant ambiguity resolution on all levels of language analysis, including morphology and semantics. The discussion is based on Swahili, for which a comprehensive analysis system has been develope...
