Abstract

This paper presents the first version of an automated French-Quechua conjugation system of verbs. Using the key structure of Quechua Undefined Tense conjugation and the transformations induced by Interposed suffix IPS sets, I built a complete system of paradigms. I used NooJ linguistic platform to formalize the morpho-syntactic grammar and this serves to automatically obtain the entire set of conjugated forms of transitive, intransitive and impersonal verbs in all tenses, moods, aspects and voices.

    “It is a conjugation where time is not expressed, only the person is” Itier 1997, p. 68. We call it undefined tense because it can simultaneously indicate: the present, rimani /je parle (I speak); the accomplished past rimani ñaqa/ j’ai parlé tout à l’heure (I spoke earlier) or the habitual aspect rimani sapa punchaw/ je parle tous les jours (I speak every day).

    In Quechua, this tense expresses established facts when the speaker is not aware of them or when the speaker does not witness them.
