| Abstract | We present a new morphological processor for Biscayan, a dialect of Basque,developed on the description of the morphology of standard Basque. The databasefor the standard morphology has been extended for dialects and an open-sourcetool for morphological description named foma is used for building theprocessor.Biscayan is a dialect of the Basque language spoken mainly in Biscay, aprovince on the western of the Basque Country. The description of the lexiconand the morphotactics (or word grammar) for the standard Basque was carried outusing a relational database and the database has been extended in order toinclude dialectal variants linked to the standard entries.XuxenB, a spelling checker/corrector for this dialect, is the firstapplication of this work. Additionally to the basic analyzer used for spelling,a new transducer is included. It is an enhanced analyzer for linking standardform with the corresponding standard ones. It is used in correction forgeneration of proposals when in the input text appear standard forms which wewant to replace with dialectal forms. |
