Porting Basque Morphological Grammars to foma, an Open-Source Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basque is a morphologically rich language, of which several finite-state morphological descriptions have been constructed, primarily using the Xerox/PARC finite-state tools. In this paper we describe the process of porting a previous description of Basque morphology to foma, an open-source finite-state toolkit compatible with Xerox tools, provide a comparison of the two tools, and contrast the development of a twolevel grammar with parallel alternation rules and a sequential grammar developed by composing individual replacement rules.

Using foma for language-based games
This paper describes two examples of how finite-state technology (FST) commonly used in computational morphology can help implement language-based games. The tool we have used is foma an open-source toolkit, similar to previous Xerox/PARC finite-state tools. FST tools have been widely used to describe the morphology of languages and to implement spelling checkers and correctors, especially for ...

متن کاملA Morphological Processor Based on Foma for Biscayan (a Basque dialect)
We present a new morphological processor for Biscayan, a dialect of Basque, developed on the description of the morphology of standard Basque. The database for the standard morphology has been extended for dialects and an opensource tool for morphological description named foma is used for building the processor. XuxenB, a spelling checker/corrector for this dialect, is the first application of...
متن کاملDeveloping an Open-Source FST Grammar for Verb Chain Transfer in a Spanish-Basque MT System
This paper presents the current status of development of a finite state transducer grammar for the verbal-chain transfer module in Matxin, a Rule Based Machine Translation system between Spanish and Basque. Due to the distance between Spanish and Basque, the verbal-chain transfer is a very complex module in the overall system. The grammar is compiled with foma, an open-source finitestate toolki...
