DIM: The Database of Icelandic Morphology

摘要

The topic of this paper is The Database of Icelandic Morphology (DIM), a multipurpose linguistic resource, created for use in language technology, as a reference for the general public in Iceland, and for use in research on the Icelandic language. DIM contains inflectional paradigms and analysis of word formation, with a vocabulary of approx. 287,000 lemmas. DIM is based on The Database of Modern Icelandic Inflection, which has been in use since 2004. Whereas the older work was descriptive, the new version is partly prescriptive, making the data applicable in a greater range of projects than before.
