Georgian is a less commonly studied language with complex, non-concatenative verbal morphology. We present a computational model for generation and recognition of Georgian verb conjugations, relying on the analysis of Georgian verb structure as a word-level template. The model combines a set of finite-state transducers with a default inheritance mechanism.1

This paper addresses the significance of rare patterns in linguistic typology. In the Georgian nominal system, vowel deletion in the context of hiatus targets low vowels regardless of position. This pattern is extremely unusual (possibly unique) both in that it targets low vowels (Gouskova 2003) and in that the position of the vowel does not play a role in determining which vowel is deleted (Ca...

We present the first study of the Georgian blogosphere. The complete dataset on Georgian bloggers is collected and analyzed using Social Network Analysis tools. We identify the core-periphery structure present in the system. Results point to the fact that, after disregarding least important peripheral blogs that do not actively participate in the system, Georgian blogosphere is very compact. Th...

The problem of possible contamination of the Georgian territory by radioactive products in case of accident at the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant (ANPP) is studied. Radioactive substances transportation, diffusion and fallout are investigated by mathematical modelling. Some results of numerical calculations are presented. Key-Words: Mathematical modeling, radioactive pollution, Georgian territory

Gospels are one type of translated historical document. There are many versions of the same Gospel that have been translated from the original, or from another Gospel that has already been translated into a different language. Nowadays, it is difficult to determine the language of the original Gospel from where these Gospels were translated. In this paper we use a supervised machine learning te...

This article examines the prosodic correlates of focus in Georgian declarative sentences, based on speech production data. Georgian is an intonation language with flexible word order, and it is sensitive to information structure. It is shown in the paper that focus has an impact on duration but does not systematically change the tonal realization of the constituents. Most prosodic correlates of...
