Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to discuss aspects of an on-going project on the development of grammatical and lexical resources for Zulu with sufficient coverage for unrestricted text. We explain how the basic software tools of computational morphology are used in linguistic processing, more specifically for automatic word form recognition and morphological tagging of the growing stock of electronic text corpora of a Bantu language such as Zulu. It is also shown how a machine-readable lexicon is in turn enhanced with the information acquired and extracted by means of such corpus analysis.
