Linguistic Problems In Multilingual Morphological Decomposition
نویسنده
چکیده
An algorithm for the morphological decomposition of words into morphemes is presented. The application area is information retrieval, and the purpose is to find morphologically related terms to a given search term. First, the parsing framework is presented, then several linguistic decisions are discussed: morpheme selection and segmentation, morpheme classes, morpheme grammar, allomorph handling, etc. Since the system works in several languages, language-specific phenomena are mentioned.

متن کاملAn Interlingual Lexical Organisation Based on Acceptions From the PARAX mock-up to the NADIA system
Many projects are conducted to develop multilingual lexical databases. Some of these projects use an interlingual approach (KBMT-89, EDR, ...), where others choose a bilingual approach (Multilex, ...). This paper presents an interlingual approach based on acceptions (word-senses) aiming at the development of a multilingual lexical database management system: NADIA. With this approach, the inter...
متن کاملAdventures in Multilingual Parsing
The typological diversity of the world’s languages poses important challenges for the techniques used in machine translation, syntactic parsing and other areas of natural language processing. Statistical models developed and tuned for English do not necessarily perform well for richly inflected languages, where larger morphological paradigms and more flexible word order gives rise to data spars...
متن کاملProposing an OntoLex-MMoOn Alignment: Towards an Interconnection of two Linguistic Domain Models
This paper motivates and proposes to align the OntoLex and MMoOn Core models. It deals in particular with the ontolex and decomp modules and their potential as ontological foundation to represent the domain of morphological language data (MLD). It will be argued that ontolex and decomp provide only a basic modelling of the domain, which is not sufficient for representing fine-grained MLD, but s...
