ICEMorph: White Papers
ICEMorph is a second generation morphological analysis and look-up tool for the study of Old Icelandic / Old Norse, the most morphonologically complex of the Germanic
languages.
The analysis tool uses a second generation formal language, FM/Haskell, to tackle the problem of this complexity.
The look-up tool is based on two of the most important dictionaries for Old Icelandic / Old Norse study: Cleasby-Vigfusson
An Icelandic-English Dictionary (1874), and Johan Fritzner's Ordbog over det gamle norske Sprog ( 1883-1896).
In its pilot phase, the look-up tool is based on Zoega's subset of Cleasby-Vigfusson, and this dictionary supplies the lexical set for
the analysis tool.
White Papers
An important aspect of the project is the dissemination of our findings in an expedient manner. We have taken the lead of engineering and other sciences in developing a series of brief white papers that detail challenges we are facing, complete or partial solutions for solving problems, results of various experiments, plans for possible future development, comparisons of possible solutions to various problems, and an exploration of failures. As the project develops, we will post more white papers.
