Morphisto Lemmatizer Module: Functions

The Lemmatizer module Morphisto is used to perform a morphological analysis on German wordforms. The user can use the tool for whole files with Lemmatize file, or interactively use the tool Lemmatize Wordform for a single word analysis. The command Search Historic is used to manage and search morpho-syntactic information of historic wordforms.

Lemmatize Wordform

TextGrid uses SFST (Stuttgart Finite State Library) for the morphological analysis of New High German words. For any given single wordform, Morphisto returns both the corresponding lemma form and a more complex morphological analysis with information concerning the morpho-syntatic features of the word (number, gender, case, mode, and person). The tool is used interactively and can be configuered according to the user's needs.

Lemmatize File

The command Lemmatize File is similar to Lemmatize Wordform but is used in batch mode to manage whole files. UTF-8 encoded files in one of the following formats are supported: PLAIN ASCCI texts, tokenized wordform lists, or, TEI/XML texts.
