🌸 NAME 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mallex [-binary|-readable|-prelex] symbol-file rule-file [lexicon-file]
[prelex-file]

like, two whole ways to call her. pick your fighter ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism. no cap. and those Malaga grammars can be used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis. very main character of them 🧚

The program mallex generates a Malaga run-time lexicon by letting allomorph rules process a base-form lexicon. that's the whole job. and here's the cute part: it can be started in interactive mode to help find bugs in the base-form lexicon or in the allomorph rules. debugging era 🙈

mallex uses the following grammar components:

  • symbol-file — The symbol-file has the suffix .sym and contains the symbols that are used in the lexicon and/or the allomorph rules. 🍓
  • rule-file — The rule-file has the suffix .all and contains the allomorph rules used to create the runtime-lexicon. 🔥
  • lexicon-file — The lexicon-file has the suffix .lex and contains the base-form lexicon entries that are used as input for the allomorph rules. 💜
  • prelex-file (optional) — The prelex-file has the suffix .prelex and contains precompiled allomorph entries, which have been created by a former run of mallex with the option -prelex. ⭐

You can give the names of the grammar components as command line arguments, in any order. yes literally any order, she's flexible like that. Alternatively, you can describe these components in a project-file and use the name of the project file as mallex' single command-line argument. A project file has the suffix .pro. 🌈

If no command line options are given, mallex runs in interactive mode, and you can enter commands. The lexicon-file and prelex-file are not used in interactive mode, so don't come for her about that. If you are not sure about the name of a command, use the command help to get an overview of all mallex commands. bestie behaviour fr fr 🫶

If you want to quit mallex, enter the command quit. iconic exit ✨
