This is the repository of the Linguistic Phenomena Ontology (LiPh), an Ontolex-lemon extension devoted to represent linguistic phenomena.
We denote as linguistic phenomena those kinds of phenomena which cause modifications of language expressions. In addition, we say that such a linguistic phenomenon is a feature of a specific language if it occurred in the generation of a relevant amount of elements of this language.
In addition, the repository contains a LiPh based ontology of features of Gallo-Sicilian varieties, i.e. those Gallo-Italic varieties spoken in Sicily.
And, in /examples/nicosia, some example derivations of lexical expression
of the Gallo-Sicilian variety of Nicosia from their Latin etymons.
Finally, a validator to check whether the derivations in a dataset are compliant
with the linguistic phenomena definitions provided in their owns ontology is available as
Java ARchive liph-1.0.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar.
Build the whole tools from sources using maven as usual, i.e., by running the following command in the project root
mvn clean install
The ontologies liph and gs-features are provided as owl files in the resources folder of the respective projects.
Instead, the dataset containing nouns and verbs of the vocabulary of Nicosia e Sperlinga has to be generated from the PDF version
of Vocabolario del dialetto galloitalico di Nicosia e Sperlinga.
Provided that you have this vocabulary in PDF format, the corresponding ttl file have to be
generated using the import utils provided in the importing project, with the following command
importing-1.12.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar <pdfvocabularyfilpath>
It will be produce a turtle file named nicosiaesperlinga.ttl. This
file has to be placed in the execution directory of the web application.
However, this file, produced with the import tool as described before, is made
available in the project root.
