A finite-state morphological analyser for Paraguayan Guaraní
Anastasia Kuznetsova, Francis Morton Tyers · 2021
This article describes the development of morphological analyser for Paraguayan Guaraní, an agglutinative indigenous language spoken by nearly 6 million people in South America.The implementation of our analyser uses HFST (Helsiki Finite State Technology) to model morphotactics and phonological processes occurring in Guaraní.We assess the efficacy of the approach on publically available corpora and find that the naïve coverage of analyser is between 86% and 91%.
