<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>I'm working on a morphological analyzer and want to make it available online for testing by the community, however I have no idea how or where to even start. The analyzer uses Xerox's xfst and lexc finite state technology. The idea is that you can put a sentence or morphologically complex word into the analyzer and it will return a morphological analysis, or you can input a morphological analysis and it will return a sentence or complex word. For example you can input<br>
<br>ʔɛčt'uk'ʷipmstup <br><br>and you'll get <br><br>cust+on.not.part(loc)+√t'uk'ʷip+m+ct+3abs+2ergpl<br><br>or vise versa...input <br><br>cust+on.not.part(loc)+√t'uk'ʷip+m+ct+3abs+2ergpl <br><br>
and get <br><br>ʔɛčt'uk'ʷipmstup<br><br>What I'd like to do is have folks test it to work out any bugs and decide how best to manage the morphological analysis (that is use linguistic notation or English translations etc.).<br>
Also, I have a root dictionary and morpheme dictionary that I'd like to make available in a searchable format, both are in a text format. Ultimately, I'd like to have the analyzer linked to the dictionaries so that once a word or sentence is analyzed a search for the root in the dictionary can be done automatically as well as for the other morphemes, returning a gloss with the analyzed form.<br>
<br>Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly welcome.<br><br>thanks,<br>shannon<br></div>
