!!!Meeting with Polderland 5.9.2006

Participants:
* Peter Beinema
* Thomas Omma
* Tomi Pieski
* Sjur Moshagen


!!Agenda

* questions and answers
* normativity and data samples



!!Divvun tasks
Data examples from Divvun was sent last week, with more this week.

__Question:__ Does the delivered data set need to be normative at this point? Or 
is a limited amount of (descriptive) overgeneration acceptable? It is ok for
now.

Divvun will soon be able to deliver normative-only datasets, but not yet. The
difference is quite small, only
PxSg1 + some other forms generate non-normative variants in addition to the
normative ones. Example:
{{{
beakkán+A+Pl+Ill+PxSg1
beakkániiddásam - not norm
beakkániiddásan - norm
}}}

Received so far (including derivations):
* even-syllable stems: verbs, nouns, adjectives
* odd-syllable stems: verbs, nouns, adjectives
* contracted stems: verbs, nouns, adjectives


PL will receive more even-syllable stem types, to cover all variants of this
type.

!!Polderland tasks

PL will split up the words (L, R, possibly middle parts), add PLX tags and regenerate the word forms. The results will be sent to Divvun, which should evaluate whether the output is correct word forms, and whether the approach seems feasible.


!!Exclusion lists

PL has Perl scripts for generating exclusion list candidates, and is willing to give the scripts to Divvun. - Yes, please:-)

The script looks for both/all parts of a compound, and compares them with existing words in the lexicon that are *almost* like the compound stems:

Dutch example1:
(capitalization)
Moskou is allowed, moskou is not but can be compounded: mos+kou

Geminates at compound borders:
{{{
kerk=church
klok=bell
lok=piece of hair
kerkklok = legal compound, church bell
kerklok = legal compound but very probably not intended

zeemeeuw=seagull
zeem+meeuw = probably not what was intended
}}}

!!Hyphenation

PL is looking for a recent CodeWarrior to compile Universal binaries for
InDesign.

!!!TODO
* send more data sets to PL (__Thomas__)
* send perl script for generating exclusion list candidates to Divvun
  (__Peter__)
