Maltilex: A Computational Lexicon of Maltese
Project Aims and Objectives
The primary aim of this project is the creation of a large-scale,
computationally tractable lexicon of the Maltese language. The main
reason for wanting to do this is that to create conditions under which
NLP applications can be developed, and we view the lexicon as
fundamental in this respect. Another important reason for a creating
a computational lexicon of Maltese is to provide a workable, concrete
standard that will offer a level of completeness and consistency
hitherto unattained.
We are approaching the problem from two angles:
- The dictionary approach. This capitalises on the work
that has gone into existing paper dictionaries by employing
headwords to construct an initial wordlist.
- The corpus approach. This involves (a) the collection,
indexing, and representation of a representative text archive,
and (b) using the archive to extend the initial wordlist.
