💖 mbma — the Dutch morphological analyzer, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, mbma is a General Commands Manual girlie and she lives in section 1 of your man pages. She's a morphological analyzer, and specifically she's the Dutch one 🇳🇱✨. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

mbma — (Dutch) morphological analyzer 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mbma -t test-file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So what does she actually do? mbma will tokenize, tag, and morphologically segment word tokens in Dutch text files. That's the whole vibe: you hand her Dutch text, she breaks it down linguistically. 👑

The default is to use the Frog config file. no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c <configfile> — set the configuration using file. yes, you pick the config, she respects it 🫶
  • -d <level> — set the debug level. turn it up if you wanna see what's going on under the hood 🔍
  • --notagger — Don't use a tagger to disambiguate. All variants are shown. The default is to use the Dutch CGN tagger. so like, if you don't want her picking a fave, this is your flag 🙈
  • --notokenizer — Don't use a tokenizer. Assume al input to be tokenized. The default is to use the Ucto Tokenizer for Dutch. (yes bestie, "al" is their typo, not mine, I'm keeping it for historical accuracy 😭)
  • -h — give some help. she's nice like that 💜
  • -t <file> — process file. the main character option, fr fr ⭐
