Abstract

"NooJ is a linguistic development environment that provides tools for linguists to construct linguistic resources that formalize a large gamut of linguistic phenomena: typography, orthography, lexicons for simple words, multiword units and discontinuous expressions, inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology, local, phrase-structure and dependency grammars, as well as transformational and semantic grammars. For each linguistic phenomenon to be described, NooJ proposes a set of compatible tools that allow linguists to construct, maintain, test, debug, accumulate and share linguistic resources. This makes NooJ’s approach different from most other computational linguistic tools that typically offer a unique formalism to their users and are not compatible with each other..."
