| Sumario: | NooJ is a linguistic development environment providing tools for linguists to build linguistic resources that formalize a wide variety of linguistic phenomena. These resources can be used to formalize typography, spelling, lexicons for single words, multi-word units, and discontinuous expressions, inflectional, derivational, and agglutinative morphology, local grammars, phrase structure, and dependency grammars, as well as transformational and semantic grammars. NooJ contains a rich toolkit that enables linguists to build, maintain, test, debug, compile, and share linguistic resources. This makes NooJ's approach distinct from most computational linguistic tools, which typically offer users a single formalism to their users and are not interoperable with each other.
NooJ has recently been enhanced with new features to meet the needs of researchers who analyze texts in various fields of the humanities and social sciences, such as History, Literature, and Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology, as well as those in other fields. Specifically, this applies to all professionals who use corpora to teach a second language.
This new issue of our journal is a valuable contribution not only to the NooJ community but also to all NooJ developers, as it represents two crucial projects: the development of linguistic resources. On the one hand, the use of these resources to develop educational applications, on the other.
Thus:
- In her article “Some contributions to the teaching of Spanish from computational linguistics,” Andrea Rodrigo presents the pedagogical considerations that underpin her postdoctoral research, as well as some basic points that are followed in the automatic processing of adjectives and verbs using the NooJ computer tool, recognizing that these are central categories in Spanish grammar.
- In their article, “Symbolic AI, Quantum Models and Text Automation: Towards Topologies of Language and Meaning,” Ritamaría Bucciarelli, Francesco Terrone, and Javier Julián Enríquez address the implementation of natural language processing (NLP) techniques for automating text analysis in the fields of digital humanities. Their methodological approach focuses on sentiment analysis and morphosyntax, and phonetics in synthetic languages and digital communication contexts.
- In his article, “Towards the construction of an electronic dictionary of Quechua-Spanish and Spanish-Quechua verbs,” Maximiliano Durán presents some of the achievements made in developing the electronic Dictionary of Quechua-Spanish and Spanish-Quechua Verbs. The objective is to present the bilingual and bidirectional Quechua-Spanish verbal vocabulary in an exhaustive and formalized manner, with the aim of developing applications within the field of automatic language processing (ALP).
- In her article, “Formalization of Ukrainian verbs with NooJ: a pedagogical application to the learning of aspectual pairs,” Olena Saint-Joanis addresses the verbal system as a central component of the Ukrainian language. She explains that this system is distinguished by its morphological richness and by a characteristic shared with other Slavic languages: the opposition between perfective and imperfective aspects. The paper aims to formalize the structure of Ukrainian verbs using the NooJ linguistic platform.
- Finally, Celina Colussi presents a review of the XIX International NooJ Conference 2025, which was held in the auditorium of the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in Paris, France. The conference took place on June 11, 12, and 13, 2025. It highlighted a broad approach, fostered by the opening lecture given by Christian Boitet (GETALP-LIG-UGA, Grenoble, France) on the need to integrate natural language processing (NLP) with so-called large language models (LLMs).
This issue should be of interest to all NooJ software users. Linguists and computational linguists working with Italian, Quechua, Spanish, and Ukrainian will find advanced and up-to-date linguistic studies for these languages.
We believe that readers will appreciate the importance of this issue, both for the intrinsic value of each linguistic formalization as well as the underlying methodology, and for the potential for developing educational applications.
