| Abstract [eng] |
This article presents the relational database created for the investigation of the morphology of old Lithuanian writings. A logical data model was developed and implemented within the Microsoft Access database management system (DBMS). All the words of two parts of the Knyga Nabažnystės were entered into the database. An engine was created for morphological (inflectional) data section, so that the words can now be selected by any assigned property or set of properties. Such a database serves as a tool for data sorting, selection and correction, as well as for text and index media storage. It allows the researcher to deal with various linguistic problems, such as noun stem alternation, authorship of texts etc. in an efficient, quick and accurate manner. |
