<title>Use GF Smart Paradigms</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Word inflection with smart paradigms</h1>
Give language, part of speech, and one or more word forms, to obtain
the inflection table.
<p>
<form method=get action="gfmorpho.cgi">
<input name=args>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
</form>
Examples:
<pre>
Eng N baby
Fin V odottaa odotti
Fre V manger
Ger N Soldat Soldaten _masculine
Hin N बच्छा
Jpn V 答える _Gr2
Lat A vetus veteris
</pre>
Thus notice that strings are given without quotes, but features
are prefixed with an underscore <tt>_</tt> (a temporary hack).
<h2>Languages and part of speech tags</h2>
The available languages are:
<pre>
Afr Amh Cat Dan Dut Eng Fin Fre Ger Hin Ina Ita Jpn Lat
Lav Nep Nor Pes Pnb Ron Rus Snd Spa Swe Tha Tur Urd
</pre>
In addition, the library has the languages <tt>Ara Bul Pol</tt>, but they
are not yet available in this way; you can however use the full form of
paradigm applications prefixed by "!" as described below.
<p>
The parts of speech are: N (= noun), A (= adjective), V (= verb).
<p>
The way this works is that the program constructs the most probable
inflection table from the forms given. For a vast majority of words in
all languages, it is enough to give just one form. But sometimes more
forms are needed to get the inflection table right.
<h2>Filtering with patterns</h2>
You may not want to see the whole table. Then you can filter it with patterns, each of which works like
"grep", using <tt>*</tt> to match any substring, either in the
features or in the forms:
<pre>
Eng N baby -Gen
Eng V die -dy*
</pre>
This is a front end to the Paradigms modules in the GF Resource Grammar.
See <a href=http://grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis.html>RGL
Synopsis</a> for available languages and paradigms.
<h2>Using custom paradigms</h2>
(Another temporary hack, for GF experts:) If you want to use other paradigms than the smart
<tt>mk</tt> paradigms, you can prefix your input with <tt>!</tt> and
use the normal expression syntax of GF. For example:
<pre>
! Ara brkN "طير" "فَعل" "فُعُول" Masc NoHum
! Bul mkN041 "птица"
! Pol mkRegAdj "duży" "większy" "dużo" "więcej"
</pre>
This also allows you to use structured terms:
<pre>
! Ger prefixV "auf" (mkV "fassen")
</pre>
<h2>To do</h2>
<ul>
<li> nicer input helped by menus
<li> error handling and reporting when some language doesn't follow
the format assumed here
<li> better documentation of the paradigms
</ul>
