摘要:

两种语言之间的词汇相似性揭示了许多有趣的语言学见解,如遗传关系,相互理解,以及一个人的词汇对另一个人的使用。有多种方法可用于评估一次总付。在同样的方面,本文提出了一种方法的语音编辑距离(PED),使用软比较的字母,使用与它们相关的发音功能。该系统将单词转换为相应的国际音标(IPA),然后将IPA转换为其发音特征集。之后,使用所提出的方法比较发音特征集的列表。例如,PED给出德语单词vater和波斯语单词pidar的编辑距离为0.82;类似地,希伯来语单词shalom和阿拉伯语单词salaam的编辑距离为0.93,而对于并置比较,它们基于IPA的编辑距离分别为4和2。实验用六种语言(阿拉伯语、印地语、马拉地语、波斯语、梵语和乌尔都语)进行。在这方面,我们提取了部分的语音明智的单词列表从通用Departments语料库和评估LS的每一对语言。因此,与所提出的方法,我们发现的遗传亲和力,相似性,和借用/外来词,尽管这些语言之间的脚本差异和声音的变化现象。

英文摘要:

Lexical Similarity (LS) between two languages uncovers many interesting linguistic insights such as genetic relationship, mutual intelligibility, and the usage of one's vocabulary into other. There are various methods through which LS is evaluated. In the same regard, this paper presents a method of Phonetic Edit Distance (PED) that uses a soft comparison of letters using the articulatory features associated with them. The system converts the words into the corresponding International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), followed by the conversion of IPA into its set of articulatory features. Later, the lists of the set of articulatory features are compared using the proposed method. As an example, PED gives edit distance of German word vater and Persian word pidar as 0.82; and similarly, Hebrew word shalom and Arabic word salaam as 0.93, whereas for a juxtapose comparison, their IPA based edit distances are 4 and 2 respectively. Experiments are performed with six languages (Arabic, Hindi, Marathi, Persian, Sanskrit, and Urdu). In this regard, we extracted part of speech wise word-lists from the Universal Dependency corpora and evaluated the LS for every pair of language. Thus, with the proposed approach, we find the genetic affinity, similarity, and borrowing/loan-words despite having script differences and sound variation phenomena among these languages.
