NP sets defined according to their morphosyntactic features
The PRE-NP-HEAD family of sets

These sets model noun phrases (NPs). The idea is to first define whatever can occur in front of the head of the NP, and thereafter negate that with the expression WORD - premodifiers.

The set NOT-NPMOD is used to find barriers between NPs. Typical usage: … (*1 N BARRIER NPT-NPMOD) … meaning: Scan to the first noun, ignoring anything that can be part of the noun phrase of that noun (i.e., “scan to the next NP head”)

Abbreviation affixes

Now splitting according to POS, and according to dot or not

First collecting POS info, *-noun, *-adv, etc. Also splitting when in doubt: -noun-adj => -noun and -adj Then pointing to two contlexes, a dot-one and a non-dot-one.

Lexicons without final period

Lexicons with final period

**LEXICON ab-dot-noun ** This is the lexicon for abbrs that must have a period.
**LEXICON ab-dot-adj ** This is the lexicon for abbrs that must have a period.
**LEXICON nodot-infl **
**LEXICON dot-infl **
**LEXICON DOT ** - Adds the dot to dotted abbreviations. we also allow different variations of dotted abbreviations at the end of the sentence (especially for tokenisers)
“kvæð.” gets analysed as "kvæð" ABBR Gram/IAbbr N Abbr in tokeniser mode also:
“kvæð.” -> "ABBR Gram/IAbbr N Abbr + "." CLB to account for sentence final kvæð with no extra full stop.
also "kvæða" V Imp Sg + "." CLB due to homonymy. Same treatment is done with two and three full stops after abbreviation in the end of the sentence:
“kvæð..” -> "su" Adv Abbr + "." CLB Err/Orth
“kvæð…” -> "su" Adv Abbr + "..." CLB

Faroese Noun morphology

This file contains the inflection suffixes for the Faroese nowns The infection classes are identical to the ones in Føroysk orðabók.

The morphology is ordered in three layers.

Layer 1: Basic noun lexica

The nominal morphology is added in three layers. In this first layer we add gender tags and morphophonological diacritics. The next two layers are for indefinite and definite suffixes, respectively.

Lexicons still to be allocated

We first list 4 lexica for words waiting to be checked.!

LEXICON xi . TOOD: classify words in xi. They are all m
LEXICON xkv2 . TOOD: classify xkv1. They are all f and end in a
LEXICON xh3. TOOD: classify xkv2. They are all f and end in a consonant
LEXICON xh25. TOOD: classify xkv2. They are all f and end in a consonant
LEXICON f

Irregular nouns

These are lexica with number 0, they have no inflectional morphology.!

LEXICON k0 for januar etc.
LEXICON kv0 for ommudidd
LEXICON h0 for indeclinable neuters
LEXICON irregular_nouns just gives the tags for the indeclinables

Lexica for words belonging to two paradigms.

These are simply split (h11/12 to h11 and h12, etc).!

Rules

These are the rules. After each rule (or rather: after many of the rules) there are test cases that are there to test whether the rules work.

Verschärfung

Rule: Deleting g

Deleting g in gv Verschärfung I
Deleting first g in ggj Genitive I
Deleting second g in ggj Genitive II
Deleting g in sting:stakst
sting^NGKK^aAB>st
stak0000st

Rule: ng to kk Part 1 changes n to k in ng:kk before ^NGKK trigger

Rule: ng to kk Part 2 changes g to k in ng:kk before ^NGKK trigger

Rule: Deleting v in gv sequences Verschärverung II gives v:0 for gv:00 before ^GVDEL and in some other contexts

Tests:

Rule: Deleting Double Consonant in Front of Consonant

The preceeding rule is fishy - the test cases below don’t fit the context requirements, and the >s# in the right context seems to indicate passive. The rule conflicts with the “Cns Deletion in front of Pass” rule at the end of the file - but only when using the Xerox tools! XXX - please have a look!

Compounding tags

The tags are of the following form:

+CmpNP/xxx - Normative (N), Position (P), ie the tag describes what position the tagged word can be in in a compound
+CmpN/xxx - Normative (N) form ie the tag describes what form the tagged word should use when making compounds
+Cmp/xxx - Descriptive compounding tags, ie tags that describes what form a word actually is using in a compound

This entry / word should be in the following position(s):

+CmpNP/All - … in all positions, default, this tag does not have to be written
+CmpNP/First - … only be first part in a compound or alone
+CmpNP/Pref - … only first part in a compound, NEVER alone
+CmpNP/Last - … only be last part in a compound or alone
+CmpNP/Suff - … only last part in a compound, NEVER alone
+CmpNP/None - … does not take part in compounds
+CmpNP/Only - … only be part of a compound, i.e. can never be used alone, but can appear in any position

Usage tags

+Use/Disamb = Use only in disambiguator/tokeniser analyser
+Use/Circ = for compound restrictions
+Use/PMatch means that the following is only used in the analyser feeding the disambiguator. This is missing.
+Use/-PMatch
+Use/-Spell
+Use/NG
+Use/NGA
+Use/SpellNoSugg
+Use/GC only retained in the HFST Grammar Checker disambiguation analyser
+Use/TTS – only retained in the HFST Text-To-Speech disambiguation tokeniser
+Use/-TTS – never retained in the HFST Text-To-Speech disambiguation tokeniser

+Err/Orth : Marking forms that are orthographical errors
+Err/Hyph
+Err/Lex
+Err/SpaceCmp
+Err/MissingSpace

Symbols that need to be escaped on the lower side (towards twolc):

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

Flags for speller suggestions

@D.ErrOrth.ON@

@C.ErrOrth@

@P.ErrOrth.ON@

@R.ErrOrth.ON@

Flag for case harmony in compounds

Set flag for compounds

Flag	Example word
@P.Case.MscNom@	fyrstiflokkur
@P.Case.MscObl@	fyrstaflokk
@P.Case.FemNom@	lítlasystir
@P.Case.FemObl@	lítluusystur
@P.Case.Neu@	breiðaskarð
@P.Case.Pl@	fyrstuflokkar, lítlusystrar, breiðuskørð

Control flag values for compounds

@R.Case.MscNom@	fyrstiflokkur
@R.Case.MscObl@	fyrstaflokk
@R.Case.FemNom@	lítlasystir
@R.Case.FemObl@	lítluusystur
@R.Case.Neu@	breiðaskarð

Flag diacritic look-alikes for grammar checker & tokenisation purposes

Flag	Explanation
@P.Pmatch.Loc@	Location in string used or parsed by hfst-pmatch
@P.Pmatch.Backtrack@	Also for hfst-pmatch

Flags for compound restriction

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.

Flag	Explanation
@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.

Lexicon Root

This is the beginning of everything. The Root lexicon is reserved in the LexC language, and must be the first lexicon defined.

Nouns ;
Shortnouns ; 1- and 2-letter nouns excluded from compounding
Propernouns ;
Adjectives ;
Shortadjectives ;
Verbs ;
Adverb ;
Conjunction ;
Subjunction ;
Interjection ;
Numeral ;
Determiner ;
Pronoun ;
Preposition ;
Punctuation ;
Symbols ;
Abbreviation ;
Acronyms ;

Lexicon Acronyms is split in two:

Acronym-fao ; for fao acronyms
Acronym-smi ; for language independent acronums

Lexicon ENDLEX

And this is the ENDLEX of everything:

@D.CmpOnly.FALSE@@D.CmpPref.TRUE@@D.NeedNoun.ON@ ENDLEX2 ;

The @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ flag diacritic is ued to disallow words tagged with +CmpNP/Only to end here. The @D.NeedNoun.ON@ flag diacritic is used to block illegal compounds.

Faroese grammarchecker

This is work in progress. The main focus is on ð errors,

This file contains two parts: Definitions and rules

Definition section

Delimiters

Grammatical tags

Here we declare all grammatical tags

Declaring all the error tags

Rule section

Verbs

Sg1 target forms

RULE: Sup should be 1Sg

RULE: sup > inf

RULE: Neu should be 1Sg

RULE: Imp Pl should be 1Sg

Plural forms

RULE: Sup should be Pl – marginal??

Supine forms

RULE:s for Pl should be Sup are not written

RULE: Inf should be Sup

Specific verbs

RULE: Past tens of láta is læt not lat

Nouns

Definiteness

RULE: Neu Indef should be Neu Def

We turn off this rule for now, it is too hard to avoid false alarms.

Quantor phrases

RULE: Num + N Sg should be Num + N Pl

Num + N Sg should be Num + N Pl (We need arabic tag here)

Subjunctives

Nothing here.

ta / tað rules

RULE: ta should be tað

Adjectives

RULE: líti should be lítið

MAPPING OF CC AND CS

Mostly we map both @CNP and @CVP, then we select @CNP, after that we remove them so @CVP remains

CCasCNPCVP Map (@CNP @CVP) to CC
killAllahtenotCS All occurrences of “at” are CSs.
Kill Sem/ID
killAllCNP removes all remaining @CNP
XCC-CS removes CC and CS with no synttag
ErrOrth goes for correct forms
X removes readings with no syntax

Usage:

$ make
$ echo "ja, ja" | hfst-tokenise --giella-cg tokeniser-disamb-gt-desc.pmhfst
$ echo "Juos gorreválggain lea (dárbbašlaš) deavdit gáibádusa boasttu olmmoš, man mielde lahtuid." | hfst-tokenise --giella-cg tokeniser-disamb-gt-desc.pmhfst
$ echo "(gáfe) 'ja' ja 3. ja? ц jaja ukjend \"ukjend\"" | hfst-tokenise --giella-cg tokeniser-disamb-gt-desc.pmhfst
$ echo "márffibiillagáffe" | hfst-tokenise --giella-cg tokeniser-disamb-gt-desc.pmhfst

Characters which have analyses in the lexicon, but can appear without spaces before/after, that is, with no context conditions, and adjacent to words:

Punct contains ASCII punctuation marks
The symbol after m-dash is soft-hyphen U+00AD
The symbol following {•} is byte-order-mark / zero-width no-break space U+FEFF.

Whitespace contains ASCII white space and the List contains some unicode white space characters

En Quad U+2000 to Zero-Width Joiner U+200d’
Narrow No-Break Space U+202F
Medium Mathematical Space U+205F
Word joiner U+2060

Apart from what’s in our morphology, there are

unknown word-like forms, and
unmatched strings We want to give 1) a match, but let 2) be treated specially by hfst-tokenise -a Unknowns are made of:
- lower-case ASCII
- upper-case ASCII
- select extended latin symbols
- Faroese-specific alphabet ASCII digits
- select symbols
- Combining diacritics as individual symbols,
- various symbols from Private area (probably Microsoft), so far:
- U+F0B7 for “x in box”

Unknown handling

Unknowns are tagged ?? and treated specially with hfst-tokenise hfst-tokenise –giella-cg will treat such empty analyses as unknowns, and remove empty analyses from other readings. Empty readings are also legal in CG, they get a default baseform equal to the wordform, but no tag to check, so it’s safer to let hfst-tokenise handle them.

Finally we mark as a token any sequence making up a:

known word in context
unknown (OOV) token in context
sequence of word and punctuation
URL in context

Simply give an empty reading when something is unknown: hfst-tokenise –giella-cg will treat such empty analyses as unknowns, and remove empty analyses from other readings. Empty readings are also legal in CG, they get a default baseform equal to the wordform, but no tag to check, so it’s safer to let hfst-tokenise handle them.
