Lexicon-based Morphological Analysis of Latvian Language
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a practical solution for lexicon-based morphological analysis of Latvian language. As it is a flexive language, the core of this system is an implementation of word inflection based on a stem and its properties as listed in the lexicon. The main advantage of the described solution over similar implementations is augmenting the lexicon with methods for word derivation from related word stems, significantly increasing the recognition rate. The implemented system is able to provide full morphological detail for 96 % words of unrestricted Latvian language texts, even when using a rather limited lexicon of 25,000 word stems. For remaining unknown words, the system is extended with heuristics for recognising proper names, and determining verb and noun flexive forms based on ending, allowing a good quality guess for the linguistic properties of words that are not included in the lexicon. Such wide coverage allows the solution to be used in other linguistic tools as a transparent and robust layer for analysing word properties.

We describe an extensive and versatile lexical resource for Latvian, an under-resourced Indo-European language, which we call Tezaurs (Latvian for ‘thesaurus’). It comprises a large explanatory dictionary of more than 250,000 entries that are derived from more than 280 external sources. The dictionary is enriched with phonetic, morphological, semantic and other annotations, as well as augmented...
متن کاملFinite State Morphology Tool for Latvian
The existing Latvian morphological analyzer was developed more than ten years ago. Its main weaknesses are: low processing speed when processing a large text corpus, complexity of adding new entries to the lexical data base, and limitations for usage on different operational platforms. This paper describes the creation of a new Latvian morphology tool. The tool has the capability to return lemm...
متن کاملOpinion Mining in Latvian Text Using Semantic Polarity Analysis and Machine Learning Approach
In this paper we demonstrate approaches for opinion mining in Latvian text. Authors have applied, combined and extended results of several previous studies and public resources to perform opinion mining in Latvian text using two approaches, namely, semantic polarity analysis and machine learning. One of the most significant constraints that make application of opinion mining for written content...
متن کاملCode-Copying in the Balochi Language of Sistan
This empirical study deals with language contact phenomena in Sistan. Code-copying is viewed as a strategy of linguistic behavior when a dominated language acquires new elements in lexicon, phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatic organization, etc., which can be interpreted as copies of a dominating language. In this framework Persian is regarded as the model code which provides elements for b...
