Working on words. The creation of lexica through DASI (original) (raw)

Abstract

D. Marotta, I. Rossi Rencontres Sabéennes 19, University of Pisa (June 18-20, 2015). The challenges faced in the computational treatment of the Semitic languages are well-known and only partially resolved. They are even more complex when under-resourced languages are concerned, as those attested in the epigraphic heritage of ancient Arabia. Indeed, it is the study of these languages that can profit from a computational approach. At the fourth year since its funding from the ERC, the project DASI– Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian inscription has directed its efforts towards the enhancement of linguistic research, starting from those corpora of texts whose digitization is completed in the archive and whose linguistic features still deserve to be fully appreciated (Hadramitic, Minaic and Qatabanic). A tool has been created for the semantic and morphological annotation of the lexical items recorded in DASI. The paper describes the architecture and the functioning of this tool, with examples of the workflow.
