 Description

This README describes a finite-state based morphological analyzer of Wolof. The analyzer was developed and tested on natural language data extracted from Wolof text books. These include Cissé, M. (1994). Contes wolof modernes. L’harmattan; and Ba, M. (2007). Bataaxal bu gudde nii. Nouvelles Editions Africaines du Sénégal (NEAS). As of September 2014, the tool shows a high coverage (more than 90%) on unseen data. See: Cheikh M. Bamba Dione: A Morphological Analyzer For Wolof Using Finite-State Techniques.
