Gunwinggu language model documentation

All doc-comment documentation in one large file.

src-cg3-functions.cg3.md

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.

These were the set types.

INTRODUCTION TO MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSER OF Gunwinggu LANGUAGE.

Definitions for Alphabets

Alphabets

The alphabet used to writing surface word-forms in Gunwinggu language are:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 %0

These punctuations are always escaped in lexc files: % %# %: %; %! %< %> %% %” These are other common punctuation in Gunwinggu language

Lexical analysis symbols

The morphological analyses of wordforms for the Gunwinggu language are presented in this system in terms of the following symbols.

Tags for parts-of-speech (POS)

Error (non-standard language) tags

Usage tags

Tags for indicating the orthography used

+Orth/Strd - Standard orthography +Orth/IPA - IPA transcription

Tags for indicating alternative orthographies, cf configure.ac

+AltOrth/standard - Standard orthography +AltOrth/-standard - NOT Standard orthography

Morphophonology

To represent phonologic variations in word forms we use the following symbols in the lexicon files:

used to control hyphenation

Flag diacritics

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: | Flag | Explanation | —- | ———– | @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

Following flags are used to control tokenisation and analyses in certain corner cases (e.g. a full stop at the end of the sentence is also needed for a full stop of an abbreviation).

Flag Explanation
@P.Pmatch.Loc@ split point for multitoken word
@P.Pmatch.Backtrack@ merge point for mutltiword token

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. | Flag | Explanation | —- | ———– | @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names | @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names

gup flags

These flags are used in the gup fst.

src-fst-transcriptions-transcriptor-symbols2text.lexc.md

This file contains mappings from abbreviations and some acronyms to full forms for text-to-speech purposes. This is a supplement to the analyser; the analyser must tag the strings as +ABBR or similar for the transcriptions to work. The resulting full form must be lemmas known to the analyser, for further processing.
