Northern Haida morphological analyser

This file shows the Northern Haida multichar symbols and initial lexica.

Definitions for Multichar_Symbols

Analysis symbols

The morphological analyses of wordforms of Northern Haida are presented in this system in terms of following symbols.

(It is highly suggested to follow existing standards when adding new tags).

The parts-of-speech could perhaps also be (remove irrelevant):

These are vowel morphophonemes which will lose their accent when they are no long in closed syllables

Haida has these tags for real, says Jordan.

Quasi-inflectional Tags

Valency Tags

The Human Classifiers

The Shape Classifiers

The Descriptive Classifiers

Restricted Descriptive Classifiers

Rare Classifiers (SKIPPED, LEXICALIZE THESE)

Sound Classifiers (ALSO LEXICALIZE?)

Human Classifers (to be added)

The pre-verb classifiers

Semantic Tags

Dialect Tags

Triggers

The parts-of-speech could perhaps also be (remove irrelevant):

The parts of speech are further split up into:

The Usage extents are marked using the following tags:

The nominals are inflected in the following Number

The verbs can have the following morphological features:

Verb prefixes

Muilti word expressions

tag for generating the MWE for abbr

The TAM flags

Verbs and prnouns

Verbs and pronouns

Special symbols are classified with:

The verbs are syntactically split according to transitivity:

Special multiword units are analysed with:

Non-dictionary words can be recognised with:

Composite UTF-8 characters, i.e. g, k, and x with

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: | @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.

The word forms in Northern Haida start from the lexeme roots of basic word classes, or optionally from prefixes:
