Final Evaluation
gug → wbp and wbp → gug
100 more stems
Added 100 more stems (mostly nouns, verbs, and adjectives) to the bilingual and monolingual dictionaries.
gug → wbp
3 new lexical selection rules
- (gug) akã → (wbp) jurru "head"; payarrpa "hill"
- Rule: Select "jurru" (Eng: head) as the translation of "akã" when it is preceded by "ha'e" (Eng: his/her). Otherwise, select "payarrpa" as the default.
- (gug) asu → (wbp) jampu "left"; jampu-karra "left-handed"
- Rule: Select "jampu-karra" (Eng: left-handed) as the translation of "asu" when it is followed by person words such as "ava" (Eng: person) or "kuña" (Eng: woman) or "mitã" (Eng: child). Otherwise, select "jampu" (Eng: left) as the default.
- (gug) henyhẽ → (wbp) jaka-ngalya "full"; ngayarrka "pregnant"
- Rule: Select "ngayarrka" (Eng: pregnant) as the translation of "henyhẽ" when it is followed/preceded by "kuña" (Eng: woman) or other words describing female people. Otherwise, select "jaka-ngalya" (Eng: full) as the default.
6 additions to the morphology
- Added numeral analysis:
- Several number words in Warlpiri also have meanings as nouns (e.g. rdaka can mean "hand" or "five")
- the -pala ending distinguishes them as number words, but it is not always necessary
- "rdaka-pala": ^rdaka-pala/rdaka<num>$^./.<sent>$
- "rdaka": ^rdaka/rdaka<num>/rdaka<n><sg><abs>$^./.<sent>$
- Added adverb analysis:
- "nyurruwiyi: ^nyurruwiyi/nyurruwiyi<adv>$^./.<sent>$
- Added elative/source case for verb auxiliaries :
- "kajangka": ^kajangka/ka<vaux><src><subj3sg>$^./.<sent>$
- Added inceptive aspect for verbs:
- "pakarnunjunu": ^pakarnunjunu/pakarni<v><tv><past><inc>$^./.<sent>$
- Added possessive marker "nyanu" for nouns:
- "kaja-nyanu-rlu": ^kaja-nyanu-rlu/kaja<n><pl><poss><erg>$^./.<sent>$
- Added the topicalizing particle grammatical marker for nouns. -ja is used to mark known information or to indicate the topic, although sometimes it has no function.
- echo "kurdukuju": ^kurdukuju/kurdu<n><sg><dat><top>$^./.<sent>$
4 new disambiguation rules
- Number vs Noun (e.g. rdaka = hand or five), has the number marker -pala
- Manu = cnjcoo vs v tv past?
- Kuja = "ka" vaux rel subj3sg OR kuja = kuja cj. relative pronoun, what, which, that, who.
- Kuja = "ka" vaux rel subj3sg OR kuja = kuja cj. relative pronoun, what, which, that, who.
- Ngula = "ka" vaux rel subj3sg OR kuja = kuja cj. relative pronoun, what, which, that, who. Find by searching AUX:COMP in new dictionary
wbp → gug
- (wbp) muru-pinyi → (gug) mboy'u "swallow"; kuapyti "insert"
- Rule: select "mboy'u" if "muru-pinyi" is followed by food or drink words: "ngapa" (water/grog), "pama" (liquor), "jirnarri" (food), and "mangarri" (vegetable). In other cases, select "kuapyti".
- Kurdu-ngku muru-pinyi ngapa. (Eng: The child is swallowing water/grog.)
- muru-pinyi walya (Eng: insert in the ground)
- (wbp) kirdirrpa → (gug) itakua "cave"; ka'irãi "jail"
- Rule: We couldn't come up with a good way to solve this problem. We decided to select "itakua" as the default, because it appears to be more common.
- Kurdu-ngku nyanyi kirdirrpa. (Eng: The child is looking for the cave.)
- Wati-ngku jarda-jarrimi kirdirrpa-rla (Eng: The man sleeps in the jail.)
