Formal Representation of Bulgarian Pronouns
Author:
Abstract: The paper presents a computationally tractable application of Bulgarian pronouns representation using Universal Networking Language (UNL) formalism. It analyses grammar features of pronouns and offers amodel of their formal representation based on incorporation of grammar, semantic and lexical knowledge by using standard UNL knowledge representation mechanisms. Also a comparison of different approaches to formal representation of Bulgarian possessive and reflexive-possessive pronouns inflectional morphology is offered. The interpretation is based on detailed analysis of grammar features and semantics of possessive and reflexive-possessive pronouns, and related formal representations are based on the use of semantic networks. The problem is interpreted as a grammar knowledge representation task.The UNL interpretation presents both morphological and syntactic knowledge and offers multilingual web-based application which can be further developed and elaborated.
