| dc.description.abstract | Research attempting to describe and quantify the differences between spoken and written language has been done for languages such as English, but not for isiZulu. In this paper, we present a quantitative investigation into such differences by considering the morphology of tokens in a transcribed spoken isiZulu corpus and a written isiZulu corpus. We use morpheme tags as a proxy for features that typically differ between spoken andwritten language, and calculate relative differences of the occurrence of specific morpheme tags from analyses produced by ZulMorph, a finite-state morphological analyser for isiZulu. This analysis presents information that could inform the development of voice-enabled computer applications for isiZulu. | en_US |
