INTRODUCTION TO MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSER OF Central Siberian Yupik LANGUAGE.

• +N +V +Part +Prop +Pron POS
• +Sg +Du +Pl Number
• +1Sg +2Sg +3Sg +4Sg Intransitive number Sg
• +1Du +2Du +3Du +4Du Intransitive number Du
• +1Pl +2Pl +3Pl +4Pl Intransitive number Pl
• +1SgO +2SgO +3SgO +4SgO Objective conjugation
• +1DuO +2DuO +3DuO +4DuO Objective conjugation

• +1PlO +2PlO +3PlO +4PlO Objective conjugation

• +Symbol = independent symbols in the text stream, like £, €, ©

4th person still missing in the transitive conjugation

• +Abs +Rel +Trm +Loc +Abl +Mod Cases
• +Prs +Prt Tenses
• +Ind +Int +Cau +ConReal +ConUnreal Modes NB! No Imp

• +Arch tags for archaic forms. In this pilot just used to indicate twin forms

• +LLATU +LLATU=NIAQ +NIAQ +NIAQ=ŊIT +ŊIT +SAAĠE +SAAĠE=ŊIT +TEQ verb elaborating +IT +QAQ
• +VIK nominalizers

• +LU +GUUQ +UNA clitics

• %^TRUNC truncation dummy
• %^CVCTRUNC dummy for very long truncations
• %^VCTRUNC dummy for long truncation
• %^FRIC dummy for fricativizing stem-final consonants. Needed to avoid a general rule that also would affect unwantedly as in aaġagu for aaqagu. The alternative would have been to postulate truncating flexives with a fricative first consonant (aiviq -q +ġit) but that is hokus pokus
• %^EBLOCK dummy to block schwa going to a (aŋutik not *aŋuttak)
• %^C dummy for intermediate gemination
• %^DEFRIC dummy when fricatives go stops (amaġuq -> amaqquk) as apposed to %C in niġi+VIK -> niġġivik
• %^SCHWADEL !dummy with derivatives truncating semi-final schwa

Flag diacritics

• @P.IV.ON@ Flag - sets value for transitivity to IV
• @P.TV.ON@ Flag - sets value for transitivity to TV
• @R.IV.ON@ Flag - reset value for transitivity to IV
• @R.TV.ON@ Flag - reset value for transitivity to TV
• @D.IV.ON@ Flag - delete if unsaturated IV flag (=Verb was not IV)
• @D.TV.ON@ Flag - delete if unsaturated TV flag (=Verb was not TV)

We have manually optimised the structure of our lexicon using following flag diacritics to restrict morhpological combinatorics - only allow compounds with verbs if the verb is further derived into a noun again: | @P.NeedNoun.ON@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised | @D.NeedNoun.ON@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised | @C.NeedNoun@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised

For languages that allow compounding, the following flag diacritics are needed to control position-based compounding restrictions for nominals. Their use is handled automatically if combined with +CmpN/xxx tags. If not used, they will do no harm. | @P.CmpFrst.FALSE@ | Require that words tagged as such only appear first | @D.CmpPref.TRUE@ | Block such words from entering ENDLEX | @P.CmpPref.FALSE@ | Block these words from making further compounds | @D.CmpLast.TRUE@ | Block such words from entering R | @D.CmpNone.TRUE@ | Combines with the next tag to prohibit compounding | @U.CmpNone.FALSE@ | Combines with the prev tag to prohibit compounding | @P.CmpOnly.TRUE@ | Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R | @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ | Disallow words coming directly from root.

Use the following flag diacritics to control downcasing of derived proper nouns (e.g. Finnish Pariisi -> pariisilainen). See e.g. North Sámi for how to use these flags. There exists a ready-made regex that will do the actual down-casing given the proper use of these flags. | @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. | @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.

This file gives the start of the Iñupiaq lexicon. The lexicon Root points at the different parts of speech. Each POS has its own file stems/nouns.lexc, etc., which in turn points to affixes/nouns.lexc, etc. POS-changing nominalizers are found in affixes/verbs.lexc and verbalizers in affixes/nouns.lexc It might be a good idea to have noun-ipk-der.txt etc. as well. The common, final lexica, are found in clitics.lexc.
