Derivation tags

The following tags are used to describe the dynamic derivational system in Lule Sámi as encoded in this lexical description. The tags are classified according to a positional system, where each tag can be in one and only one position, and can only combine with tags from an earlier / lower position. This is done to avoid possible overgeneration in the derivational system.

+Der1 +Der2 +Der3 +Der4 +Der5
- positional tags, preceeds the actual der tag

Der#1 tags - tags in first position

  • +Der/mus VN
  • +Der/NomAct VN Realised in two different ways.
  • This realisation is Der3. Outcommented
  • to not define the tag twice, but kept
  • here for documentation purposes.
  • +Der/dahka VN
  • +Der/lis VA
  • +Der/NomAg VN

Der#4 tags - tags in fourth position

  • +Der/ahtes NA ! only odd

Der#5 tags - tags in fifth position

  • +Der/AAdv NA AAdv, previously +Der/at
  • +Der/vuota NA AN (tag harmonization: previosuly Der/vuohta)

Der#other tags - tags that can be in any position

There are no such tags in SMJ, but for symmetry and code coherence with SME the class is still kept.

Tags for originating language

The following tags are used to guide conversion to IPA: loan words and foreign names are usually pronounced (approximately) as in the originating (majority) language. Instead of trying to identify the correct pronunciation based on phonotactics (orthotactics actually), we tag all words that can't be correctly transcribed using the SME transcriber with source language codes. Once tagged, it is possible to split the lexical transducer in smaller ones according to langu- age, and apply different IPA conversion to each of them. The principle of tagging is that we only tag to the extent needed, and following a priority:

  1. any untagged word is pronounced with SME orthographic conventions
  2. NNO and NOB have identical pronunciation, NNO is only used if different in spelling from NOB
  3. SWE has mostly the same pronunciation as NOB, and is only used if different in spelling from NOB
  4. Occasionally even SME (the default) may be tagged, to block other languages from being specified, mainly during semi-automatic language tagging sessions All in all, we want to get as much correctly transcribed to IPA with as little work as possible. On the other hand, if more words are tagged than strictly needed, this should pose no problem as long as the IPA conversion is correct - at least some words will get the same pronunciation whether read as SME or NOB/NNO/SWE.
  • +OLang/SME - North Sámi
  • +OLang/SMA - South Sámi
  • +OLang/FIN - Finnish
  • +OLang/SWE - Swedish
  • +OLang/NOB - Norw. bokmål
  • +OLang/NNO - Norw. nynorsk
  • +OLang/ENG - English
  • +OLang/RUS - Russian
  • +OLang/UND - Undefined

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
@D.ErrOrth.ON@
@C.ErrOrth@
@P.ErrOrth.ON@

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
@U.CmpNone.TRUE@ Combines with the two previous ones to block compounding
@P.CmpOnly.TRUE@ Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R
@D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ Disallow words coming directly from root.
@U.CmpHyph.FALSE@ Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@U.CmpHyph.TRUE@ Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@C.CmpHyph@ Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns

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@ Disallow downcasing of names when not derived: Deatnu
@U.Cap.Opt@ Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.
@P.Px.add@ Giving possibility for Px-suffixes (all except from Nom 3.p)
@R.Px.add@ Requiring P.Px.add-flag for Px-suffixes (all except from Nom 3.p)
@P.Nom3Px.add@ Giving possibility for Px-suffixes Nom 3.p
@R.Nom3Px.add@ Requiring P.Nom3Px.add flag for Px-suffixes Nom 3.p

Lexicon ENDLEX

And this is the ENDLEX of everything:

 @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@@D.CmpPref.TRUE@@D.NeedNoun.ON@ # ;

The @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ flag diacritic is ued to disallow words tagged with +CmpNP/Only to end here. The @D.NeedNoun.ON@ flag diacritic is used to block illegal compounds.
