English

apertium-eng

===============================================================================

This is an Apertium monolingual language package for English. What

you can use this language package for:

* Morphological analysis of English

* Morphological generation of English

* Part-of-speech tagging of English

Requirements

===============================================================================

You will need the following software installed:

* lttoolbox (>= 3.3.0)

* apertium (>= 3.3.0)

* vislcg3 (>= 0.9.9.10297)

If this does not make any sense, we recommend you look at: apertium.org

Compiling

===============================================================================

Given the requirements being installed, you should be able to just run:

$ ./configure

$ make

You can use ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure if you're compiling

from SVN.

If you're doing development, you don't have to install the data, you

can use it directly from this directory.

If you are installing this language package as a prerequisite for an

Apertium translation pair, then do (typically as root / with sudo):

# make install

You can give a --prefix to ./configure to install as a non-root user,

but make sure to use the same prefix when installing the translation

pair and any other language packages.

Testing

===============================================================================

If you are in the source directory after running make, the following

commands should work:

$ echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . eng-morph

TODO: test analysis result

$ echo "TODO: test sentence" | apertium -d . eng-tagger

TODO: test tagger result

Files and data

===============================================================================

* apertium-eng.eng.dix - Monolingual dictionary

* eng.prob - Tagger model

* apertium-eng.eng.rlx - Constraint Grammar disambiguation rules

* apertium-eng.post-eng.dix - Post-generator

* modes.xml - Translation modes

Notes on eng.prob

===============================================================================

apertium-eng uses the [perceptron tagger](https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Perceptron_tagger),

so in order for it to work, it needs to be called with -gx: `apertium-tagger -gx eng.prob`
