For Apertium, we use the lexc for certain transducers. There are some apertium-specific conventions we employ, outlined below.
Contents
Preferred format for stem definitions
The preferred format for stem definitions is underlying:surface CLASS ; ! "gloss", with optional following conditions, for example:
бул:бу DET-DEM ; ! "this" ! Dir/LR
Morpheme boundary
We use %> as a morpheme boundary indicator in lexc.
Conditions
There are a few special conditions we use: ! Dir/LR, ! Dir/RL, and ! Use/MT. These allow us to grep out lines to have different right-to-left and left-to-right transducers, and also have separate MT-specific and vanilla transducers. Otherwise lexc simply interprets these as comments.
Bracketed multi-character symbols
We define certain types of multi-character symbols for various purposes.
Tags
Tags are defined with less-than and greater-than signs, e.g. %<pl%>.
Archiphonemes
Archiphonemes are defined with curly braces, e.g. %{A%}.
Features
Features are defined with square brackets, e.g. %[%-coop%].
