Automatic Pairing of Perfective and Imperfective Verbs in Polish

Zbigniew Kaleta

Abstract: The information about verb’s aspect and its aspectual pair should be available to algorithms for languages where this feature is present. This paper presents an algorithm that automatically detects morphological dependencies between verbs in Polish and uses them to match corresponding perfective and imperfective verbs. The results of the algorithm are tested against Słownik Gramatyczny Języka Polskiego.
