| Abstract: |
The central research question that is addressed in this article is: How can ZulMorph, a
finite state morphological analyser for Zulu, be employed to add value to Zulu lexical semantics
with specific reference to Zulu verbs? The verb is the most complex word category in Zulu. Due to
the agglutinative nature of Zulu morphology, limited information can be computationally
extracted from running Zulu text without the support of sufficiently reliable computational morphological
analysis by means of which the essential meanings of, amongst others, verbs can be
exposed. In this article we describe a corpus-based approach to adding the English meaning to
Zulu extended verb roots, thereby enhancing ZulMorph as a lexical knowledge base. |
