Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the content of the first version of a Quechua linguistic module for NooJ and to describe its main components. They include several electronic dictionaries of verbs, nouns, and other POSs. The article also describes an ongoing work in the elaboration of a large set of paradigms which formalize Quechua inflectional and derivational morphology as well as morphological and syntactic grammars. We present the morphological codes used in the dictionaries, some graphs representing the numerals, the derivation and finally a demo text.
