Résumé

In the Quechua language we find less than 1400 simple verbs. But, the language has several strategies to increase this verb lexicon generating new verbs by derivation, making use of a particular set of suffixes. First we construct a Boolean matrix showing the valid compounds of the suffixes doing this job. Then we show how we have programmed certain number of morpho-syntactic NooJ grammars to generate the corresponding compound verbs (over 43160). As a result we present a dictionary of the lexicalized compound verbs, including their Spanish and French translations. We have applied both the dictionary and some grammars for automatically annotate a Quechua text obtaining near 90 % of successful matches.
