BabelMorph

BabelMorph: a Multilingual Morphological Library

Index and Configuration

BabelMorph is an API to use the data from the UniMorph project.
As first step, download the index (UniMorph.zip) from here ~124MB.
Next, configure the file located inside the config folder (babelmorph.properties) with the path to the Morphological index.
The index contains word inflections for 50 languages, covering nouns, verbs and adjectives.

1. Introduction =========================

This package provides an open-source API for retrieving word inflections for nouns, verbs and adjectives based on Wiktionary.

2. Requirements =========================

• Java 7 (JRE 1.7) or higher

3. Quick start =========================

The following is a usage example (you can find and run it in the example package).

//the entry point to access  the  content  available
BabelMorph bm = BabelMorph.getInstance();

String lemma = "eat";
System.out.println("morphology from the lemma \""+lemma+"\" in "+Language.ENG);
List<BabelMorphWord> bmwFromLemma = bm.getMorphologyFromLemma(Language.ENG, lemma);
System.out.println("Lemma\tLang\tPoS\tinflected forms");
for(BabelMorphWord bmw : bmwFromLemma)
	System.out.println(bmw);

String word = "président";
System.out.println("morphology from the word \""+word+"\" in "+Language.FRA);
List<BabelMorphWord> bmwFromWord = bm.getMorphologyFromWord(Language.FRA, word);
System.out.println("Lemma\tLang\tPoS\tinflected forms");
for(BabelMorphWord bmw : bmwFromWord)
	System.out.println(bmw);

Where:

BabelMorphWord contains a lemma associated with a language, a part-of-speech and a multi-map representing the various morphological inflections of the given lemma.
