Monodix (from monolingual dictionary, plural: monodices) is a French-sounding term invented by Youssefsan (Youssef Oualmakran)] to refer to an Apertium monolingual dictionary in .dix format.
Notes
- Postgenerator alarms
Many monodixes handle postgenerator alarms <a/>
explicitly in each entry. As a result, left-to-right entries have to be separated from right-to-left entries. However, it could be much easier to write a paradigm like
<pardef n="wiggle"> <e r="LR"> <i/> </e> <e r="RL"> <l><a/></l> <r></r> </e> </pardef>
and then invoke it in entries as follows
<e lm="a"> <par n="wiggle"/> <i>a</i> </par n="a__pr"/> </e>
This suggests that perhaps it would be even easier to change the meaning of <a/>
so that it only works right to left, or perhaps endow it with the r
attribute as follows: <a r="RL"/>
.
