Abstract

The syntactic and semantic analyses constitute an important part of the automatic natural language processing field. Indeed, the complexity and the richness of the language make these tasks more difficult since they require the description of all the grammatical, syntactic and semantic features of the language lexicon. It is in this context that the lexicon-grammar approach has been introduced: It consists of describing the lexicon of the language through readable and intuitive tables for manual human editing. On the other hand, NooJ is an automatic natural language processing platform that includes different levels of analysis: lexical, morphological, syntactic and semantic. In order to integrate the lexicon-grammar approach into this platform, the tables must be transformed into dictionaries and syntactic grammars. However, setting up the dictionaries in NooJ through these tables is done manually right now, making it very time-consuming and error-prone. Hence, this work aimed at developing dictionaries automatic generation tool in NooJ from lexicon-grammar tables, ensures time saving and fully exploiting the potentialities of the lexicon-grammar approach.
