[Corpora-List] New Portuguese linguistic module with bilingual extension for MT

[Anabela Barreiro]

Apologies for multiple postings

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first version of the Portuguese linguistic module is now available
for NooJ. 
This module includes a bilingual extension to be used in Portuguese-English
machine translation, a work in progress. It contains:

-- two text files: the
Portuguese version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -
"Declaração Universal Direitos Humanos-PT.not" (7,3 MB) and the novel
"Viagens na Minha Terra - Almeida Garret.not" (377 KB)
-- a general open source dictionary (approx. 60,000 entries = lemmas):
PT-Dict.nod. Compiled dictionary recognizes 980,230 inflected word forms. 
-- a morphological grammar to process contracted forms: PT-Contr.nom
-- a syntactic grammar that recognizes and translates dates: PT2EN-Dates.nog

We hope this
work is useful to NooJ users interested in either working in the Portuguese
language or in other languages and who would like to compare and discuss the
new characteristics that the Portuguese module incorporates.

New users can download NooJ from http://www.nooj4nlp.net/
