Kalaallisut documentation

This page documents the work on the Kalaallisut language model.

Based upon a cooperation between Oqaasileriffik (Grønlands sprogsekretariat) and Divvun & Giellatekno, Oqaasileriffik has built a full-sized Greenlandic analyser.

Central developers have been: Per Langgård, Liv Molich, Najannguaq Nielsen, Trond Trosterud, Paneeraq Nielsen, Beatrine Heilman, Judithe Denbæk, Onu Didriksen, Tino Didriksen and Sjur Moshagen.

It is in use in a Greenlandic spellchecker and in a set of pedagogical programs for Greenlandic.

Documentation and information for developers

Here you find the technical documentation of the Greenlandic parser. The parser is built in close cooperation with the Sámi language technology project, with a file structure and setup close to the Sámi ones. General documentation can be found at the Sámi project documentation.

• The lexicon structure (file lex.md missing)
• Morphology issues
• Issues in Greenlandic

General information for web users

In order to analyse Greenlandic text, you may paste in text in the window here. The machine returns text with all possible analyses. The tags are listed in the document root.lexc linked to below. The parser gives tags for parts of speech, morphosyntactic categories, clitics, and derivational tags. The derivational affixes have tags carrying the same names as the affixes themselves. In addition to giving all possible tags, the analyser also has a disambiguation mode, that gives only analyses appropriate in the given context.

It is also possible to generate wordforms, by pasting the lemma and gramamtical tags here
