UNL-ization of Punjabi with IAN

UNL-ization is the process of converting Natural Language resource to Universal Natural Language (i.e., UNL). UNL is based on Interlingua approach, specifically designed by UNDL foundation for storing, summarizing, representing and describing information in a format which is independent to a natural language. This paper illustrates UNL-ization of Punjabi language with the help of IAN (i.e., Interactive ANalysis) tool. UNL-ization of major part-of-speeches of a Natural language viz Preposition, Conjunction, Determiner, Verb, Noun, Adjective, Time, Numbers and Ordinals has been done. In this paper UNL-ization process is explained with the help of three example sentences. Total 257 TRules and 623 Dictionary entries have been created, and the system has been tested successfully for Corpus500 (provided by UNDL Foundation) for Five hundred Punjabi sentences, comprising of all the major part-of-speeches and its FMeasure comes out to be 0.936 (on a scale of 0 to 1).
