Implementation information
Sources
The noun morphology is based on Eesti käänamissüsteemi seaduspärasused (Kaalep, 2012).
We have automatically constructed a 80k-word lexicon from all the nouns, adjectives and adverbs in EstWN (v67); the verbs of the EstCG lexicon, which provides information on the verb complement and adjunct cases; and the database of multi-word verbs (Kaalep and Muischnek, 2008). Morfessor 2.0 was used for compound word splitting of nouns, and Filosoft’s morphology tools were used to generate the base forms of nouns and adjectives (6 forms), and verbs (8 forms).
Testing
Morphology has been tested against Filosoft's morphological analyser.
Additionally, we have ported some of the existing GF ap- plications (MOLTO Phrasebook (Ranta et al., 2012), ACE- in-GF (Camilleri et al., 2012)) to Estonian.
