چکیده

In this paper, we describe an ongoing project of developing a treebank for Amharic. The main objective of developing the treebank is to use it as an input for the development of a parser. Morphologically-rich Languages like Arabic, Amharic and other Semitic languages present challenges to the state-of-art in parsing. In such language morphemes play important functions in both morphology and syntax. In addition to the existence of high lexical variations due the morphology, Amharic has a number of clitics which are not indicated with any special marker in the orthography. Considering the status of Amharic resources and challenges to the existing approach to parsing, we suggest to develop a treebank where clitics are separated manually from content words and annotated semi-automatically for part-of-speech, morphological features and syntactic relations.

A Corpus for Modeling Morpho-Syntactic Agreement in Arabic: Gender, Number and Rationality

We present an enriched version of the Penn Arabic Treebank (Maamouri et al., 2004), where latent features necessary for modeling morpho-syntactic agreement in Arabic are manually annotated. We describe our process for efficient annotation, and present the first quantitative analysis of Arabic morphosyntactic phenomena.

A Cross-language Approach to Rapid Creation of New Morpho-syntactically Annotated Resources

We take a novel approach to rapid, low-cost development of morpho-syntactically annotated resources without using parallel corpora or bilingual lexicons. The overall research question is how to exploit language resources and properties to facilitate and automate the creation of morphologically annotated corpora for new languages. This portability issue is especially relevant to minority languag...
