A Prototype Free/Open-Source Morphological Analyser and Generator for Sakha

We present, to our knowledge, the first ever published morphological analyser and generator for Sakha, a marginalised language of Siberia. The transducer has coverage of almost 90%, and high precision. In the development of the analyser, we have expanded linguistic knowledge about Sakha, and develop...

Description
Summary:We present, to our knowledge, the first ever published morphological analyser and generator for Sakha, a marginalised language of Siberia. The transducer has coverage of almost 90%, and high precision. In the development of the analyser, we have expanded linguistic knowledge about Sakha, and developed strategies for complex grammatical patterns. The transducer is already being used in downstream tasks, including computer assisted language learning applications for linguistic maintenance and computational linguistic shared tasks.
