The Cree course

Megan has talked to Atticus about the course vs nêhiyawêtân

He liked (what we currently have):

• context-based practice of inflected forms instead paradigm lists

Ideas for new features

• vowel length:
  • audio (Leksa: listen to audio file, write the word)
  • hint about the wrong vowel length, in Leksa
• pictures in addition/in stead of word in Leksa
  • work to make all the pictures (perhaps for Gïelese?)
  • South Saami Gïelese
  • Ideas for Cree Gïelese
• Cree texts - and translating/reading
• questions as audio file, write the answer (Sahka, Vasta)

Megan's work

Megan needs for her work

• xml editor
  • xml copy editor
  • needs a dtd (Lene provides it)
• svn on a windows machine:
  • svn tool
• Add Megan's email to the svn-server
  • Antti does that: howto

Files to work with: verb.csv and part.csv:

• If discrepancies in the verb.csv:
  • correct the lemma in the csv file, or
  • add the lemma to the FST, or
  • exclude the lemme from Morfa
• Lene will have a look at the lemmas and will write an email

Verb paradigms

Maskwawîs vs Okimasis

Jordan's report from CILLDI morphology lectures in Maskwacîs last weekend:

Conor and I have been down in Maskwacîs over the past two days, working on paradigms with students in the CILLDI class. So far all of the inflectional morphology in the Maskwacîs dialect seems to match with what is in Jean's grammar book... with one exception:

VAI Future Conditional (see page 36 in Jean's book)

Jean gives these suffix forms:

• 1p: -yâhki
• 21: -yahko

But for the Maskwacîs speakers, the forms they use are:

• 1p: -yâhki
• 21: -yahki

Implementering på gtoahpa serveren

Lene's todos:

• update lemmas and so on for generating
• ask Heli to install at the gtoahpa-serveren
• start creating feedback files

Work in lexc

Atticus to be instructed that changes to FST should be accompanied by corresponding changes to the yaml-files (has requested more work hours, so could spend some time on this).

yaml-tests:

• all noun tests pass
• not all verb tests pass. Problems with some lemmas:
  • pimâmon - not in FST?
  • kâtâw (FST) or katâw (yaml) ?
  • NS vs. FSTmowaw vs. môwaw? (<-- Atticus)
• hyphens

Antti talks with Arok about hyphen-policy: 1. Accept with hyphens in any morpheme boundary, but generate only forms without any hyphens, or with hyphens at every preverb-juncture
