| Abstract | This document reports the process of extending MorphoPro for Venetan, alesser-used language spoken in the Nort-Eastern part of Italy.MorphoPro is the morphological component of TextPro, a suite of tools orientedtowards a number of NLP tasks. In order to extend this component to Venetan, wedeveloped a declarative representation of the morphological knowledge necessaryto analyze and synthesize Venetan words. This task was challenging for severalreasons, which are common to a number of lesser-used languages: althoughVenetan is widely used as an oral language in everyday life, its written usageis very limited; efforts for defining a standard orthography and grammar arevery recent and not well established; despite recent attempts to propose aunified orthography, no Venetan standard is widely used. Besides, there aredifferent geographical varieties and it is strongly influenced by Italian. |
