As members of the group of Celtic languages, both Scottish Gaelic and Irish exhibit initial consonant mutation. There follows a brief description of how the analysis, disambiguation and generation of this phenomenon is dealt with in the <code>apertium-ga-gd</code> package. |
|||
===Analysis and disambiguation=== |
|||
===Generation=== |
|||
Generation of initial mutations takes place in two files, where <math>x</math> is the code of the language that is being generated (<code>ga</code> for Irish, <code>gd</code> for Scottish Gaelic). |
|||
* <code>apertium-ga-gd.pre-<math>x</math>.t1x</code> — Transfer rules which add tags defining the mutation to the beginning of words which should be mutated. |
|||
* <code>apertium-ga-gd.muta-<math>x</math>.dix</code> — A post-generation dictionary which takes the tag and the initial letter of the word and outputs the mutated form. |

Irish dictionary[edit]
put the paradigms in 1 entry-per-line format- noun paradigms
- some have only one entry -- these are defective? -- e.g.
bá__n_m - some have three entries -- defective also? -- e.g.
band/ia__n_m
- some have only one entry -- these are defective? -- e.g.
- verb paradigms
- sort the entries so that the order makes sense
is there an imperative p1.sg ???
- adjective paradigms
- some paradigms have more entries than others, e.g.
ca/s__adjhas 3, andbré/an__adjhas 4
- some paradigms have more entries than others, e.g.
- are some proper nouns marked with common noun paradigms instead of proper noun paradigms ?
- find out with
cat apertium-ga-gd.ga.dix | grep '<e lm="[A-Z]'
- find out with
- sort the entries in the <section id="main"> by a) part-of-speech, b) alphabetical order
- i think we're missing possessives and demonstratives, quantifiers and perhaps some definite/indefinite pronouns
Old todo[edit]
- Perform an intersection on the monolingual dictionaries. (Making them consistent)
- We only want stuff in the Irish analyser that we can translate into Scottish Gaelic -- so, in order for a word to be included, it should be in both the Irish monolingual, bilingual and the translation in the Scottish Gaelic monolingual. With the words for which we don't have translations we can just comment them out -- or move them to a separate file in
