Evaluation of Quantity Patterns in North Sámi Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
This work presents the first results of a phonetic experiment on North Sámi quantity and its areal and dialectal variation. The North Sámi language belongs to the Western group of the Sámi languages, which are a part of the Finno-Ugric language family. There are approximately 25 000 North Sámi speakers altogether [1], and the traditional speaking areas are in the northern parts of three states, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The North Sámi language is divided into four main dialect groups: Western and Eastern Finnmark Sámi, Torne Sámi and Sea Sámi [2]. This work focuses on describing and comparing the phonetic realization of quantity patterns in the two Finnmark dialects.

Mapping areal variation and majority language influence in North Sámi using hierarchical prosodic analysis
This paper presents the results of a statistical hierarchical analysis of areal variation in prosody of North Sámi language. The hierarchical analysis method compares unigram models using cross-entropy measure. The models depict distributions of Δ-features of f0 and energy signals decomposed using Continuous Wavelet Transform [1]. These signals are obtained from speech recordings of five areal ...

Bid Majnun( weeping willow) design is in the invaluable position because of being one of the most famous patterns among Persian rugs as well as their local varieties. Although it seems that there is not a particular region for the creation of this design , old samples have been observed in the north-west areas of Iran especially in Bidjar(Bijar). Such evidence may imply that Bidjar has been the...

متن کاملDeveloping Prototypes for Machine Translation between Two Sámi Languages
This paper describes the development of two prototype systems for machine translation between North Sámi and Lule Sámi. Experiments were conducted in rule-based machine translation (RBMT), using the Apertium platform, and statistical machine translation (SMT) using the Mosesdecoder. The experiments show that both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, and that they can both make us...
