Morphological text analysis with Python using *.dic *.aff

I have 2 files in hunspell format(.dic and .aff) for Ukrainian language. My program has to get base form of the input word. So, it can use word form from .dic file and affices from .aff files. I don't know how to achieve this even with Hunspell util, but suppose it is possible.

Which python libraries can get base form of the word using .dic and .aff files?

Solution

  • As said before hunspell is the library you require. Examples from https://code.google.com/p/pyhunspell/wiki/UsingPyHunspell:

    import hunspell
hobj = hunspell.HunSpell('/usr/share/myspell/en_US.dic', '/usr/share/myspell/en_US.aff')
hobj.spell('spookie')
>>>>False

hobj.suggest('spookie')
>>>>['spookier', 'spookiness', 'spooky', 'spook', 'spoonbill']

hobj.spell('spooky')
>>>>True

hobj.analyze('linked')
>>>>[' st:link fl:D']
hobj.stem('linked')
>>>>['link']
