Abstract
Lexicon is in important resource in any kind of language processing application. Corpus-based lexica have several advantages over other traditional approaches. The lexicon developed for Sinhala was based on the text obtained from a corpus of 10 million words drawn from diverse genres. The words extracted from the corpus have been labeled with parts of speech categories defined according to a novel classification proposed for Sinhala. The lexicon reports 80% coverage over unrestricted text obtained from online sources. The lexicon has been implemented in Lexical Mark up Framework.
