    • Davvisámi earutkeahtes oamasteapmi [Inalienability in North Saami] 

      Janda, Laura A; Antonsen, Lene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Inalienability in North Saami On the basis of corpus data (9.5M words 1997–2010) we claim that North Saami is developing a grammatical distinction between alienable and inalienable possession. In previous work we documented a language change in North Saami in which the possessive suffix as in girjji-id-easkka [book-acc.pl-3pl] ‘their books’ is being replaced by an analytic construction with the ...
    • Er maskinoversetting fra nordsamisk nyttig for sørsamisk? 

      Antonsen, Lene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-30)
      The article assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a rule-based translation program from North Saami to South Saami. As a tool for translators, the system can contribute to more text being produced in South Saami, both by using North Saami as an intermediary in the translation of texts from Norwegian and Swedish, and by translating texts that are originally written in North Saami. The system may ...
    • Fra partikkelverb og preposisjoner til verbavledninger og kasus. Brukerstudie av ei nordsamisk-norsk-nordsamisk ordbok 

      Dominczak, Katarzyna Zofia; Antonsen, Lene; Trosterud, Trond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-29)
      The article discusses challenges facing the bidirectional North Saami–Norwegian e-dictionary Neahttadigisánit when used as a production dictionary, based upon a set of writing and translation tasks presented to second term students and logging of their dictionary use. The dictio¬nary's ability to both analyse and generate Norwegian and Saami forms is of great help to the students. The dictionary ...
    • The GiellaLT infrastructure: A multilingual infrastructure for rule-based NLP 

      Nørstebø Moshagen, Sjur; Pirinen, Flammie; Antonsen, Lene; Gaup, Børre; Mikkelsen, Inga Lill Sigga; Trosterud, Trond; Wiechetek, Linda; Hiovain-Asikainen, Katri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      This article gives an overview of the GiellaLT infrastructure, the main parts of it, and how it has been and can be used to support a large number of indigenous and minority languages, from keyboards to speech technology and advanced proofing tools. A special focus is given to languages with few or non-existing digital resources, and it is shown that many tools useful to the daily digital life of ...
    • Hva er viktig for forståelse? Om maskinoversetting fra nordsamisk 

      Trosterud, Trond; Antonsen, Lene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-22)
      Artikkelen presenterer et regelbasert maskinoversettingssystem fra nordsamisk til norsk. Den grammatiske analysen blir gjort med Giellatekno og Divvuns nord-samiske analyseprogram. Vi har skrevet transferkomponenten (transferleksikon og grammatiske regler) innafor rammeverket til det åpne maskinoversettings-systemet Apertium. Artikkelen inneholder ei evaluering av oversatt tekst for to ulike domener. ...
    • 'Lei niogtredve go byggiimet.' Om unormerte lån fra norsk i samisk talespråk 

      Antonsen, Lene (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-12-31)
      Denne artikkelen ser på ord annotert som fremmedspråklig ord eller sitatlån i det nordsamiske talespråkskorpuset LIA Sápmi. De mest frekvente orda blir vurdert mot ordbøker og tekstkorpus. Analysen viser at en del av disse orda i realiteten er etablerte lånord i muntlig språk, og mange av dem finnes også i ordbøker, men orda er fraværende i skriftlig språk. Størstedelen av de annoterte orda er ...
    • Mo, do, so, da – duortnussámi dovdomearkan? 

      Antonsen, Lene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)
      In this article, I examine the dialect forms of a set of North Saami pronouns – mo, do, so, da (‘I, you, he/she, it’; standardized forms: mon, don, son, dan). More specifically, I investigate where the forms are in use and how the forms have developed. The material shows that the final -n has changed in a number of stages before it disappeared completely. I suggest that these pronominal forms are ...
    • Ord sett innafra og utafra – en datalingvistisk analyse av nordsamisk 

      Antonsen, Lene; Trosterud, Trond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Artikkelen presenterer et analyseprogram for nordsamisk løpende tekst, bestående av en morfologisk transduser og en føringsgrammatikk for disambiguering og syntaktisk analyse. Artikkelen drøfter hva programmet kan fortelle oss om nordsamisk grammatikk når det brukes til å analysere et nordsamisk tekstkorpus bestående av til sammen 25 millioner ord. Vi ser på produktiviteten for en del sentrale ...
    • Possessive constructions in North Saami 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Antonsen, Lene (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2014)
      We have investigated the distribution of two possessive constructions in North Saami: 1) with the possessive suffix appended to a noun, and 2) with the reflexive pronoun ieža-: 1) Son manai latnjasis ja velledii seŋgii. [3Sg.prn.NOM go.PRET.3Sg room.ILLSg.POSS3Sg and lay-down.PRET.3Sg bed.ILLSg] ‘He went to his room and lay down on the bed.’ 2) Hihtásit son manai sisa, gavccui ...
    • Possessivkonstruksjoner i nordsamisk 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Antonsen, Lene (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2014)
    • A Radial Category Profiling Analysis of North Sámi Ambipositions 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Antonsen, Lene; Baal, Berit Anne Bals (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014)
      We present a study of four North Sámi adpositions that can be used as both prepositions and postpositions and thus be termed “ambipositions”. We advance three hypotheses concerning 1) dialectal differences in use of ambipositions in North Sámi, 2) differences between their use as prepositions and postpositions, and 3) a possible typological correlation between the frequency of ambipositions and ...
    • Samisk: láibi og gáhkku 

      Antonsen, Lene; Trosterud, Trond (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)
    • Ulike veger fra nordsamisk til lulesamisk 

      Trosterud, Trond; Antonsen, Lene; Mikkelsen, Inga Lill Sigga; Lorentsen, Anders Viel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-28)
      The present article evaluates different approaches to the construc-tion of a North Saami-Lule Saami dictionary. The pivot method (via Norwegian) gives rise both to a low coverage and to a massive overgeneration and requires other methods in order to distinguish between good and bad candidate pairs. We show that it is possible to distinguish reliably between good and bad pairs ...
    • Using authentic texts for grammar exercises for a minority language 

      Antonsen, Lene; Argese, Chiara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-02)
      <p>This paper presents an ATICALL (Authentic Text ICALL) system with automatic visual input enhancement activities for training complex inflection systems in a minority language. We have adapted the freely available VIEW system which was designed to automatically generate activities from any web content.</p> <p>Our system is based on finite state transducers (FST) and Constraint Grammar, originally ...
