isiZulu中本体的语言化
Toward verbalizing ontologies in isiZulu
摘要：
伊西祖鲁语是南非的十一种官方语言之一，大约一半的人口会说它。它是南非超过1000万人的第一（家庭）语言。isiZulu及其相关的Nguni语言只有少量的计算资源，但工具开发的必要性仍然存在。我们专注于自然语言生成，特别是语法选项和偏好，这将为知识表示语言的言语化提供信息，并可能有助于机器翻译。言语化模式规范表明语法规则非常详细，并且有几个选项可以供您选择。我们设计了包含，基本不相交，存在和普遍量化，以及连接的动词化模式。这是在语言学家和非语言学家之间的一项调查中评估的。语言学家和非语言学家之间的一些差异可以观察到，前者更一致，偏好取决于句子的整体结构，例如单数形式的包含和复数形式的其他情况。
英文摘要：
IsiZulu is one of the eleven official languages of South Africa and roughly half the population can speak it. It is the first (home) language for over 10 million people in South Africa. Only a few computational resources exist for isiZulu and its related Nguni languages, yet the imperative for tool development exists. We focus on natural language generation, and the grammar options and preferences in particular, which will inform verbalization of knowledge representation languages and could contribute to machine translation. The verbalization pattern specification shows that the grammar rules are elaborate and there are several options of which one may have preference. We devised verbalization patterns for subsumption, basic disjointness, existential and universal quantification, and conjunction. This was evaluated in a survey among linguists and non-linguists. Some differences between linguists and non-linguists can be observed, with the former much more in agreement, and preferences depend on the overall structure of the sentence, such as singular for subsumption and plural in other cases.
