Abstract

The paper presents a tool for the creation of an electronic dictionary of multi-word proper names. Toposlaw uses graphs for the representation of inflectional and pragmatic variants of names. It cooperates with Morfeusz, a morphological analyser and generator for Polish words, and Multiflex, a cross-language morpho-syntactic generator of multi-word units. Our goal was to create a userfriendly tool that makes a lexicographic work easy and efficient. In the paper we describe facilities for graph creation, management and debugging. The presented tool was applied to create a dictionary of Warsaw urban proper names.
