[Corpora-List] Morphological Analyser for Setswana

[Gerhard van Huyssteen]

Dear Thapelo

Mike Maxwell is right: Sonja Bosch (project leader) and Laurette
Pretorius from Unisa, in collaboration with various other people, are
working on morphological analysers for the South African languages.
Rigardt Pretroius (ntlrsp at puk.ac.za) from the North-West University is
their collaborator on the Setswana part of the project. The project is
sponsored by the South African National Research Foundation.

One of our MA students, Karien Brits (bkkjhb at puk.ac.za), is currently
also working on a finite state morphological analyser for Setswana,
using the FSA tools from Groningen.

Hope this info helps.

Yours,
Gerhard

I am looking for work on the morphological analyser of Setswana or
Sesotho
using Xerox Tools (Beesley&Karttunen) or any Bantu language. I am
interested
in developing the analyser for Setswana but I am wondering if there
are
other people working in this area currently (or have done some work in
the
past). Any help will be appreciated.

Best wishes

Thapelo
