ITRI-00-09 Incorporating Metaphonemes in a Multilingual Lexicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a framework for multilingual inheritance-based lexical representation which allows sharing of information across languages at all levels of linguistic description. The paper focuses on phonology. It explores the possibility of establishing a phoneme inventory for a group of languages in which language-specific phonemes function as “allophones” of newly defined metaphonemes. Dutch, English, and German were taken as a test bed and their vowel phoneme inventories were studied. The results of the cross-linguistic analysis are presented in this paper. The paper concludes by showing how these metaphonemes can be incorporated in a multilingual lexicon.

متن کاملITRI-00-37 Semi-automatic construction of multilingual lexicons
The construction of lexicons for NLP applications is a potentially very expensive task, but a crucially important one, especially in multilingual applications. The automation of the task from generic data sources or corpora is as yet largely impractical for most applied systems. In this paper we describe a methodology for the semi-automation of the task, used in the CLIME project to develop bil...
متن کاملLow Cost Construction of a Multilingual Lexicon from Bilingual Lists
Manually constructing multilingual translation lexicons can be very costly, both in terms of time and human effort. Although there have been many efforts at (semi-)automatically merging bilingual machine readable dictionaries to produce a multilingual lexicon, most of these approaches place quite specific requirements on the input bilingual resources. Unfortunately, not all bilingual dictionari...
