Notes and Evaluations
  • Initial coverage of corpus: ~34%
  • By adding ci, di, ne, ak, Senegaal, and Yàlla, coverage went up to 42.3%.
  • The top unknown form is now "gu," with 70 occurrences. It's unclear to me exactly how I should analyze it, given that in the Peace Corps dictionary, it is defined as a relative pronoun (which, who, whom) on p15, and in the UCLA dictionary it is defined both as a relative subject that goes between g-class nouns and adjectives (that) and as an indefinite pronoun (any).
  • By fixing some errors in the code responsible for analyzing forms from our grammar page, coverage went up to 45.9%.


  • There are 161 stems in the transducer.
  • The list of most common unknown words is as follows:
    TOP UNKNOWN WORDS:
      70 ^gu/*gu$
      67 ^ca/*ca$
      57 ^mu/*mu$
      49 ^juróom/*juróom$
      46 ^ay/*ay$
      39 ^at/*at$
      38 ^te/*te$
      38 ^nag/*nag$
      37 ^suuf/*suuf$
      35 ^Aji/*Aji$
      32 ^réew/*réew$
      31 ^Sax/*Sax$
      30 ^nekk/*nekk$
      29 ^am/*am$
      25 ^téeméeri/*téeméeri$
      25 ^a/*a$
      24 ^jur/*jur$
      22 ^Kayin/*Kayin$
      20 ^muy/*muy$
      20 ^loolu/*loolu$
    coverage: 3367 / 7335 (~0.45903203817314246762)
    remaining unknown forms: 3968
