yajwI'
======

**yajwI'** is a Klingon NLP toolkit that includes basic tokenization, morphological analysis and POS tagging.

It heavily uses the `boQwI' dictionary <https://github.com/De7vID/klingon-assistant-data>`_.

Installation
------------

yajwI' requires Python 3.8 or newer.

It can be installed from PyPI::

    pip install yajwiz

Updating and using the boQwI' dictionary
----------------------------------------

When yajwI' is first imported, it will download a copy of the boQwI' dictionary.
After this the ``update_dictionary()`` function must be called whenever the dictionary needs to be updated.
The function will check for updates and install them.

The downloaded dictionary can be accessed through the ``load_dictionary()`` function.

>>> import yajwiz
>>> yajwiz.update_dictionary()
>>> dictionary = yajwiz.load_dictionary()
>>> dictionary.version
'2021.03.18a'

Tokenization
------------

The library includes very simple tokenization.

>>> import yajwiz
>>> yajwiz.tokenize("Hegh neH chav qoH. qanchoHpa' qoH, Hegh qoH.")
[('WORD', 'Hegh'), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'neH'), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'chav'), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'qoH'), ('PUNCT', '.'), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', "qanchoHpa'"), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'qoH'), ('PUNCT', ','), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'Hegh'), ('SPACE', ' '), ('WORD', 'qoH'), ('PUNCT', '.')]


Morphological analysis
----------------------

The ``yajwiz.analyze`` function parses a word and returns a list of possible parses and a lot of extra information.

>>> yajwiz.analyze("yInwI'")
[{'BOQWIZ_ID': 'yIn:n',
  'BOQWIZ_POS': 'n:klcp1',
  'LEMMA': 'yIn',
  'PARTS': ['yIn:n', "-wI':n"],
  'POS': 'N',
  'SUFFIX': {'N4': "-wI'"},
  'UNGRAMMATICAL': 'ILLEGAL PLURAL OR POSSESSIVE SUFFIX',
  'WORD': "yInwI'",
  'XPOS': 'N',
  'XPOS_GSUFF': 'N'},
 {'BOQWIZ_ID': 'yIn:v',
  'BOQWIZ_POS': 'v:t_c,klcp1',
  'LEMMA': 'yIn',
  'PARTS': ['yIn:v', "-wI':v"],
  'POS': 'V',
  'SUFFIX': {'V9': "-wI'"},
  'WORD': "yInwI'",
  'XPOS': 'VT',
  'XPOS_GSUFF': "VT.wI'"}]

Currently the analyzer is very permissive and does allow using wrong plurals and possessive suffixes (eg. **yInwI'** instead of **yInwIj**). It will try to mark this kind of errors with ``'UNGRAMMATICAL': True``. It detects the following errors:

- Using **-pu'**, **-wI'**, **-lI'**, etc. when the noun is not a person noun
- Using **-Du'** when the noun is not a body part
- Using **-vIS** without using **-taH**
- Using **-lu'** with an illegal verb prefix
- Using intransitive verbs with prefixes indicating object
- Using **-ghach** without any other verb suffix
- Using aspect suffix with **-jaj**

There is also a simpler function ``yajwiz.split_to_morphemes``, that returns a set of tuples of strings (usually there will be only one tuple in the set):

>>> yajwiz.split_to_morphemes("yInwI'")
{('yIn', "-wI'")}

Grammar checker
---------------

yajwI' can be used to find common grammar errors. You can either use the method ``yajwiz.get_errors`` or the following command line interface:

.. code::

    python -m yajwiz.grammar_check file.txt

CONLL-U files and POS tagger
----------------------------

CONLL-U files are a popular data format for storing annotated linguistic data.

yajwI' can generate CONLL-U files filled with morphological information (it does not support dependency parsing).

Below is an example script that first parses a text without a trained POS tagger,
then trains a POS tagger with it and finally parses the text with the tagger and saves the result to a CONLL-U file.

.. code:: python

    import yajwiz

    with open("prose-corpus.txt", "r") as f:
        text = f.read()

    conllu = yajwiz.text_to_conllu(text)

    tagger = yajwiz.Tagger()
    tagger.train(yajwiz.conllu_to_tagged_list(conllu))

    conllu = yajwiz.text_to_conllu(text, tagger)

    with open("prose-corpus.conllu", "w") as f:
        f.write(conllu)

Without a trained POS tagger, ambiguous words will be left without a tag:

.. code::

    # Hegh neH chav qoH.
    1	Hegh	_	_	_	_	_	_	_	_
    2	neH	_	_	_	_	_	_	_	_
    3	chav	_	_	_	_	_	_	_	_
    4	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    5	.	.	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_

    # qanchoHpa' qoH, Hegh qoH.
    1	qanchoHpa'	qan	VERB	V?.pa'	Person=3|ObjPerson=3,0	_	_	_	SuffixV3=-choH|SuffixV9=-pa'
    2	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    3	,	,	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_
    4	Hegh	_	_	_	_	_	_	_	_
    5	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    6	.	.	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_

After training the tagger, it will take the "best guess" when deciding the POS.

.. code::

    # Hegh neH chav qoH.
    1	Hegh	Hegh	VERB	VT	Person=3|ObjPerson=3,0	_	_	_	_
    2	neH	neH	ADV	ADV	_	_	_	_	_
    3	chav	chav	VERB	VT	Person=3|ObjPerson=3,0	_	_	_	_
    4	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    5	.	.	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_

    # qanchoHpa' qoH, Hegh qoH.
    1	qanchoHpa'	qan	VERB	V?.pa'	Person=3|ObjPerson=3,0	_	_	_	SuffixV3=-choH|SuffixV9=-pa'
    2	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    3	,	,	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_
    4	Hegh	Hegh	VERB	VT	Person=3|ObjPerson=3,0	_	_	_	_
    5	qoH	qoH	NOUN	N	_	_	_	_	_
    6	.	.	PUNCT	PUNCT	_	_	_	_	_

In this example the tagger made a mistake: it classified the first **Hegh** as VT, although it should be N. I don't have a correctly tagged corpus, so evaluating the tagger is currently impossible. :(
