The Geometry of Language - a Space Semantic Network of Bulgarian Nominal Inflectional Morphology ~*

摘要

In this work we present a computationally tractable model of Bulgarian nominal inflectional morphology for the feature of definiteness using orthogonal semantic networks. We use the DATR language for lexical knowledge presentation for the implementation, and we define the basic architecture of the model in terms of its linguistic motivation, namely, the semantics and the grammar features of definiteness in Bulgarian language. Further, we explain a fragment of semantic network encoding of nouns, and evaluate different inflected forms. Finally, we offer a geometrical interpretation of the encoded semantic network in the space.
