Kartu-Verbs : un système d'informations logiques de formes verbales fléchies pour contourner les problèmes de lemmatisation des verbes géorgiens
Abstract
The Georgian language has a complex verbal system, both agglutinative and inflectional,
with many irregularities. Inflected forms of a given verb can differ greatly
from each other. It takes a good knowledge of Georgian grammar to go back to infinitive
(the most common access lemma for dictionaries). Access to dictionaries for
beginners is therefore very difficult. In addition, there is no consensus among Georgian
lexicographers on which lemmas represent a verb in dictionaries. It further complicates
dictionnaries access. We propose Kartu-Verbs, a base of inflected forms of Georgian
verbs accessible by a logical information system. This demonstration shows how, from
any inflected form, we can find the relevant lemma to access any dictionary. Kartu-
Verbs can thus be used as a front-end to any Georgian dictionary.
