Where Bears Have the Eyes of Currant: Towards a Mansi WordNet
Csilla Horváth, Ágoston Nagy, Norbert Szilágyi, Veronika Vincze
Abstract
Here we report the construction of a wordnet for Mansi, an endangered minority language spoken in Russia. We will pay special attention to challenges that we encountered during the building process, among which the most important ones are the low number of native speakers, the lack of thesauri and the bear language. We will discuss our solutions to these issues, which might have some theoretical implications for the methodology of wordnet building in general.- Anthology ID:
