Abstract:

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that provides tools for linguists
to construct linguistic resources that formalise a large gamut of linguistic
phenomena: typography, orthography, lexicons for simple words, multiword units
and discontinuous expressions, inflectional and derivational morphology,
local, structural and transformational syntax, and semantics.

For each resource that linguists create, NooJ provides parsers that can apply
it to any corpus of texts in order to extract examples or counter-examples, to
annotate matching sequences, to perform statistical analyses, etc. NooJ also
contains generators that can produce the texts that these linguistic resources
describe, as well as a rich toolbox that allows linguists to construct,
maintain, test, debug, accumulate and reuse linguistic resources. For each
elementary linguistic phenomenon to be described, NooJ proposes a set of
computational formalisms, the power of which ranges from very efficient
finite-state automata to very powerful Turing machines. This makes NooJ’s
approach different from most other computational linguistic tools that
typically offer a unique formalism to their users.

Since it was released in 2002, NooJ has been enhanced with new features every
year. Linguists, researchers in Social Sciences and more generally all
professionals who analyse texts have contributed to its development and
participated in the annual NooJ conference. Since 2011, the European project
Meta-Net CESAR brought a new interest in NooJ as well as a new set of
projects, both in linguistics and in computer science. The present volume
contains 18 articles selected from the 32 papers presented at the
International NooJ 2012 Conference which was held from June 14th to 16th at
the Institut NAtional des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) in
Paris. These articles are organised in three parts: “Vocabulary and
Morphology” contains five articles; “Syntax and Semantics” contains six
articles; “NooJ Applications” contains six articles. In this volume, we
decided to add a new part: eight short papers that present prototype NooJ
modules developed by graduate students and could serve as bases for more
ambitious projects.
