INTRODUCTION Word Net is a lexical database for different languages. It groups words into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides short, general definitions, and records the various semantic relations between these synonym sets. The purpose is twofold: to produce a combination of dictionary and thesaurus that is more intuitively usable, and to support automatic text analysis and artificial intelligence applications. Taking Kashmiri language in this scenario, the work is going on the development of Kashmiri Synsets. Kashmiri language is called k ә:sh ur or k ә:shir zaba:n by its native speakers. It is primarily spoken in the Kashmir Valley part of the Jammu and Kashmir State in India. It is also spoken by Kashmiri‟s settled in other parts of India, and other countries. The language spoken in and around Srinagar is regarded as the standard variety. Kashmiri has several unique features amongst the Indo-Aryan languages. These include existence of central vowels / I/, / I:/, /ә/, / ә:/, insertion of epenthetic vowels, etc. Syntactically, from a word order perspective, Kashmiri shows both verb medial and verb final characteristics. Kashmiri also shows strong V2 features like Germanic, Yiddish, Dutch and Icelandic. In the root clause, the finite verb may be preceded not only by the subject, as in English, but also by other clause constituents, as is the case in the verb-second languages. Morphologically speaking, words in Kashmiri are either mono or poly-morphic. Grammatical categories can be divided into three main groups on the basis of their morphological characteristics. |
