Developing a lexicon of word families for closely-related languages

Résumé

Lexical resources are of interest in linguistic research and its applications. However, building and enriching them is very time consuming and expensive. In specific fields such as morphology, unsupervised and (semi-)supervised approaches consisting in automatically discovering word structure have gained in popularity in the last few years. While encouraging results have been obtained for a large variety of languages, few resources are currently available. In this paper, we describe a morphological lexicon under development for Romance languages. It is based on an initial seed set of manually identified 2,004 word families in French. Our goal is to map these families on related languages in order to obtain a resource based on family clusters, capable to provide morphological and semantic information on each family crosslingually. Such a resource will be of help in contrastive linguistics and in different NLP and human applications, such as crosslingual information retrieval and interlingual language learning.
