Apertium linguistic data for Sicilian

Sicilian (apertium-scn)

This is an Apertium monolingual language package for Sicilian. What you can use this language package for:

• Morphological analysis of Sicilian
• Part-of-speech tagging of Sicilian

Orthographical note

This analyser is built to analyse Sicilian words, it does not currently follow any prescribed orthography and contains a great deal of orthographic variation, both in forms and in lemmas.

Adopting a standard orthographic form for lemmas is in the roadmap for development of the analyser.

Requirements

You will need the following software installed:

• lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)
• apertium (>= 3.3.0)
• vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)

If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: apertium.org

Compiling

Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:

$ ./configure
$ make

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure if you're compiling from SVN.

If you're doing development, you don't have to install the data, you can use it directly from this directory.

If you are installing this language package as a prerequisite for an Apertium translation pair, then do (typically as root / with sudo):

# make install

You can give a --prefix to ./configure to install as a non-root user, but make sure to use the same prefix when installing the translation pair and any other language packages.

Testing

If you are in the source directory after running make, the following commands should work:

$  echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . scn-morph
TODO: test analysis result

$ echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . scn-tagger
TODO: test tagger result
