RUSLO: an automatic system for derivation in Russian
Natal'ja Percova · 1996
The derivational system RUSLO (_RUsskoe SLOvoobrazovanie_ 'Russian Derivation') can carry out the following tasks: (1) give derivatives for an input word; (2) give a source word for an input word; (3) give a derivational meaning of a derivative (mainly in terms of lexical functions); (4) generate for an input word a derivative with a given meaning. The system is implemented in the programming language PASCAL and runs on IBM compatible PC's (the programs are written by A. V. Cheremxin). It uses a machine version of A. A. Zaliznjak's Grammatical Dictionary of [10] (about 100000 entries) as a sourse of Russian words. RUSLO can analyse both conventional and new words (such as neologisms or slang words from [9]); in synthesis only conventional words are allowed as an output.
