Ingrian multichar symbols and Root lexicon

Definitions for Multichar_Symbols

Multichar_Symbols

The morphological analyses of wordforms for the Ingrian language are presented in this system in terms of the following symbols. (It is highly suggested to follow existing standards when adding new tags).

The parts-of-speech tags:

+N +A +Adv +V +Pron +CS +CC +Adp +Po +Pr +Interj +Pcle +Num +Qnt

The parts of speech subtags

+Prop Types of nouns +Pers +Dem +Interr +Refl +Recipr +Rel +Indef Types of pronouns +Manner +Spat +Temp = Types of adverbs +Err/Orth error forms +Use/-Spell do not suggest +Err/OverG Marks Overgeneration of case formatives, such as, exessive with personal pronouns +Dial/Soik Dialects tag. Peculiar to Soikkola +Dial/Lauk Dialect tag. Peculiar to Laukaa

Nominal inflection

+Sg +Pl +Ess +Nom +Gen +Acc +Ill +Ine +Ela +All +Ade +Abl +Tra +Par +Exe +Instr +Com +Ins +Prl +PxSg1 +PxSg2 +PxSg3 +PxPl1 +PxPl2 +PxPl3 Possessive suffixes +Comp +Superl comparative tags

Numerals and other quantifier tags

+Attr +Card +Ord ordinal +Univ universal quantifier

Verb tags

+Ind +Prs +Prt +Pot +Cond +Imprt moods +Sg1 +Sg2 +Sg3 +Pl1 +Pl2 +Pl3 Verb person tags +Inf +Ger +ConNeg +ConNegII +Neg +ImprtII +ActPrsPrc +ActPrtPrc +Prc +PrtPrc +Sup +VGen +VAbess +PrfPrc Which one is needed? +TV +IV transitivity:

Miscellanious tags

+ABBR +ACR +Symbol = independent symbols in the text stream, like £, €, © +CLB +PUNCT +LEFT +RIGHT Special symbols +Multi Non-dictionary words can be recognised with: Special multiword units +Guess Non-dictionary words via regex gring stems (not in use?) +Qst yes/no question +Foc focus +Foc/kä +Foc/kii +Clt/kAA

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

Semantic tags

Semantic tags to help disambiguation & synt. analysis: (before POS) Borrowed from main/langs/sme/src/morphology/root.lexc

Multiple Semantic tags:

Semantics are classified with

Derivation

Derivations are classified under the morphophonetic form of the suffix, the source and target part-of-speech.

+V→N +V→V +V→A +Der/jA = actor name !!2012-10-30 +Der/Adj = for derivation of adjectives without specification +Der/st = for derivation of manner adverbs +Der/min = Deverbal nouns +Der/miin = Deverbal nouns +Der/tOin = Deverbal arvaamaton and Denominal adjectives +Der/toist = ykstoist (11), kakstoist (12)

Morphophonology

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

Archiphonemes

{aä} {oö} {uü} %> V1 V2 V3 AÄ1 OÖ1 UY1 %^E1 %^TS K1 %^NoGrad Nogradation

Triggers to control variation

{front} {back} %^ShVws %^LVws %^ShCns %^LCns %^WCns %^StrCns %^AtoO %^ÄtoÖ %^OddSyll arvata, arvant but arvanneet %^StretchSyll2 creates ommeena from omena %^SyllBr syllable break for venät and lyhyt %^RVws %^WGStem weak-grade stem for ompel to ommel

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

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: deatnulasj.
@U.Cap.Opt@ Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.

This is to facilitate the ‘teens’ in “-toist” This can also be used as a condition for further combinations e.g. tens and hundreds
