Giellatekno, Centre for Saami language technology at the University of Tromsø, started as a project for Saami grammatical analysis, later extended into syntax, proofing tools, interactive pedagogical programs, electronic dictionaries, and text-to-speech. The linguistic philosophy is that programs ... [More] for linguistic analysis should be funded on deep linguistic knowledge, where the analysis takes word forms as a starting point, and build the syntactic analysis bottom-up, rather than vice versa. In this way we are able to build analysers that are both robust but at the same time give deep rather than shallow linguistic analyses. These analysers form the basis both for practical programs for end users and for advanced linguistic research. [Less]
