Adding Morpho-phonological Features to a French Morphosemantic Resource: the Demonette Derivational Database

International audienceDemonette (Hathout & Namer [13]) is a derivational database (DDB) of French with a relational structure: its entries describe a large number of properties of derivational relations connecting word pairs, such as LANCER 'launch' LANCEUR 'launcher' or LANCEUR LANCEMENT 'launching'. The entries also specify the categorical, semantic and morpho-phonological properties of the connected words. We here present the morpho-phonological ones and show how Demonette's organization allows an original representation of these properties. Demonette's entries provide phonological transcriptions of the word pairs and syllabic decompositions. It also specifies their stems and the possible variations they display
