| Abstract | In this paper, we introduce the Lefff, a freely available, accurate andlarge-coverage morphological and syntactic lexicon for French, used in many NLPtools such as large-coverage parsers. We first describe Alexina, the lexicalframework in which the Lefff is developed as well as the linguistic notions andformalisms it is based on. Next, we describe the various sources of lexicaldata we used for building the Lefff, in particular semi-automatic lexicaldevelopment techniques and conversion and merging of existing resources.Finally, we illustrate the coverage and precision of the resource by comparingit with other resources and by assessing its impact in various NLP tools. |
