We present in this work a new Universal Morphology dataset for Korean.
Previously, the Korean language has been underrepresented in the field of
morphological paradigms amongst hundreds of diverse world languages. Hence, we
propose this Universal Morphological paradigms for the Korean language that
preserve its distinct characteristics. For our K-UniMorph dataset, we outline
each grammatical criterion in detail for the verbal endings, clarify how to
extract inflected forms, and demonstrate how we generate the morphological
schemata. This dataset adopts morphological feature schema from Sylak-Glassman
et al. (2015) and Sylak-Glassman (2016) for the Korean language as we extract
inflected verb forms from the Sejong morphologically analyzed corpus that is
one of the largest annotated corpora for Korean. During the data creation, our
methodology also includes investigating the correctness of the conversion from
the Sejong corpus. Furthermore, we carry out the inflection task using three
different Korean word forms: letters, syllables and morphemes. Finally, we
discuss and describe future perspectives on Korean morphological paradigms and
the dataset.Comment: Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 202
