dc.description	YAWA is a four stage lexical aligner that uses bilingual translation lexicons produced by [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/translation-equivalents-extractor\|TREQ]] and phrase boundaries detection to align words of a given bitext. Using this alignment, in stage 2 a language dependent module takes over and produces alignments of the remaining lexical tokens within aligned chunks. Stage 3 is specialized in aligning blocks of consecutive unaligned tokens and stage 4 deletes alignments that are likely to be wrong. Developed in PERL, YAWA is language independent, except for the modules that realise alignments specific to the pairs of aligned languages. So far, it works just for Ro-En pair of languages. It requires a parallel corpus in [[http://www.xces.org\|XCES]] format, morpho-syntactically annotated and lemmatized (using [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/ttl-tokenizing-tagging-and-lemmatizing-free-running-texts\|TTL]]), and translation dictionaries produced by [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/translation-equivalents-extractor\|TREQ]]. YAWA’s individual F-measure is 81.22%. Currently YAWA is a part of the [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/cowal-combined-word-aligner\|COWAL]] combined lexical alignment platform.
