Current Status: In Progress
Project: Extend lttoolbox to have the power of HFST

Guidelines

  • Every rule in the dictionary file must be properly compatible with the the HFST twolc engine and must not result in any kind of ambiguities.
  • The xml tags must be well defined for archiphonemes and rules and must be distinct from the other existing tags in lttoolbox.
  • Every rule entry should have comments adequate enough to give a brief understanding of morphophonological transformations performed by the twol compiler.

Design

  • The design is still in the development stage and may need significant modifications after it is implemented on the existing language pairs.
  • The design must be robust enough to support all type of rules namely:
    • Phonologically conditioned deletion
    • Morphologically conditioned deletion
    • Phonologically conditioned symbol change
    • Morphologically conditioned symbol change
    • Phonologically conditioned insertion
    • Morphologically conditioned insertion

Twol Rules

    <m><ar n="A"></m><s>a</s>
    <context dir="e"><l_c><set n="BackVow"></l_c><r_c></r_c></context>
  </rule>
  <rule c="Only hyphen in vowel boundaries and caps">

    <m><ar n="A"></m><s>a</s>
    <context dir="ne"><l_c><set n="BackVow"></l_c><r_c></r_c></context>
  </rule>
</rules>
Tag/Symbol Meaning
rule twol rule
c comment
m morphotactic side
s surface side
context context for transformation
dir direction constraint
f a:b => _ ; If the symbol pair a:b appears it must be in context _
b a:b <= _ ; If lexical a appears in the context _ then it must correspond to surface b
e a:b <=> _ ; Lexical a always corresponds to b in context _
ne a:b /<= _ ; Lexical a never corresponds to b in context _
r_c right context
l_c left context
