Faroese documentation

This page documents work on Faroese language technology, how to build the Faroese language model and and how to use it.

The Faroese language model

The language model is a finite state transducer, capable of analysing and generating any Faroese wordform. It contains the lemmas from Føroysk orðabók and the grammatical part is written at the University of Tromsø in cooperation with Fróðskaparsetur Føroya.

• Framgangsmåtar for å arbeide med analysatoren
• Testing av analysatoren

The project also contains a syntactic analyser, built upon constraint grammar technology. The Faroese disambiguator is still in an early stage. For a presentation, see Trond Trosterud: A Constraint Grammar for Faroese.
