UNITEX System

Unitex is a collection of programs developed for the analysis of texts in natural language by using linguistic resources. These resources consist of electronic dictionaries, local grammar graphs and lexicon-grammar tables. It is initially developed for French at the Laboratoire d’Automatique Documentaire et Linguistique (LADL) at University Paris 7, and extended to be compatible with the linguistic resources of other languages such as Greek, Italian, German, Spanish, and Korean as well.

UNITEX is a text processing system, based on automata-oriented technology.

With this tool, one can construct electronic resources such as dictionaries and grammars and apply them in text processing. The main functions are:

   ● building, modifying and applying electronic dictionaries

   ● pattern matching with regular expressions and transition networks (Local Grammar Graphs)

   ● applying lexicon-grammar tables

   ● treating ambiguity via text automaton
