Täherik, a Language Game to Improve Estonian Vocabulary Skills
Name
Andre Randmaa
Abstract
The goal of this practical bachelor thesis was to create an Estonian language game that would be entertaining and teach new vocabulary. The game is similar to the English language game Figgerits. The application is primarily suitable for advanced Estonian language learners or native speakers. Game terms and definitions were obtained from Estonian Wordnet, and suitable sentences were obtained from the corpus. Game content is automatically generated based on sentences and words that must contain the letters from the sentence. The paper describes the acquisition and use of linguistic data as well as the structure of the language game.
