A Free/Open-Source Morphological Transducer for Western Armenian

Hossep Dolatian, Daniel Swanson, Jonathan Washington


Abstract
We present a free/open-source morphological transducer for Western Armenian, an endangered and low-resource Indo-European language. The transducer has virtually complete coverage of the language’s inflectional morphology. We built the lexicon by scraping online dictionaries. As of submission, the transducer has a lexicon of 75K words. It has over 90% naive coverage on different Western Armenian corpora, and high precision.
