LX-Inflector

LX-Inflector (beta version) is a freely available online service for the nominal lemmatization and inflection of Portuguese. It was developed and is mantained by the NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group at the University of Lisbon, Department of Informatics.

Features

At the date of its inception, LX-Inflector is the first freely available online service for fully-fledged Portuguese nominal inflection and lemmatization.

It takes as input:

It delivers:

LX-Inflector processes simple forms, both lexically known and unknown ones. It also processes compound forms. It handles nominal forms with prefixes as well. In sum, it lemmatizes and inflects:


By activating the force inflection option, the input form is processed by forcing the application of regular inflection, however the appropriate output form is regular, irregular or non-existent.

N.B.: Every form is processed by the inflector, being up to the user to ensure its correct categorization (as Noun or as Adjective) as well as its orthographical correctness. In case the input form is mispelled, that input is taken as a neologism by the inflector.

Authorship

LX-Inflector is being developed by António Branco and Pedro Martins, with the help of João Silva, and the contribution of Catarina Ribeiro and Ricardo Santos of the NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group, at the University of Lisbon, Department of Informatics.
