The Analysis of Diachronic Variation in Romanian Print Press

Proceedings of the First PhD Symposium on Sustainable Ultrascale Computing Systems (NESUS PhD 2016) Timisoara, Romania. February 8-11, 2016.The paper describes a study based on diachronic exploration of Romanian texts in order to implement a technology for detecting automatically the morpho-lexical from 1840 to nowadays. The chosen timings put in evidence the language changes, describing, also, the phenomena related to the evolution of the Romanian language, especially, in print press. We define a complex methodology for recovering of old Romanian texts in two different spaces: Romania (until 1918, representing 3 countries, Moldova, Wallachia and Transylvania) and Republic of Moldavia, the last being a territory lost of Romania after the historic events. The aim of this survey it to analyse the morphology and lexical-semantics of Romanian language, based on important corpus starting with the middle of the 19th century until today, in order to compare them, emphasizing the language differences and similarities. This work could be of interest to lexicographers and computational linguistics specialists, who want to clarify the linguistic identity.European Cooperation in Science and Technology. COS

VeLeRo: an inflected verbal lexicon of standard Romanian and a quantitative analysis of morphological predictability

This paper presents VeLeRo, an inflected lexicon of Standard Romanian which contains the full paradigm of 7297 verbs in phonological form. We explain the process by which the resource was compiled, and how stress, diphthongs and hiatus, consonant palatalization, and other relevant issues were handled in phonemization. On the basis of the most token-frequent verbs in VeLeRo, we also perform a quantitative analysis of morphological predictability in Romanian verbs, whose complexity patterns are presented within the broader Romance context
