Sources of linguistic knowledge for minority languages

Harold L. Somers


Abstract
Language Engineering (LE) products and resources for the world’s “major” languages are steadily increasing, but there remains a major gap as regards less widely-used languages. This paper considers the current situation regarding LE resources for some of the languages in question, and some proposals for rectifying this situation are made, including techniques based on adapting existing resources and “knowledge extraction” techniques from machine-readable corpora.
