Lingua::Stem::De(3pm)

💖 Lingua::Stem::De — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the Lingua::Stem::De(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the German stemming algorithm. like, it takes your German words and gives you back their stems. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Lingua::Stem::De;
my $stems   = Lingua::Stem::De::stem({ -words => $word_list_reference,
                                      -locale => 'de',
                                  -exceptions => $exceptions_hash,
                                     });

that's it, that's the whole entrance. slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this routine does is it applies a stemming algorithm to an anon array of German words that you pass in, and it hands you back the stemmed words as an anon array. iconic behavior honestly.

it's a "convenience" wrapper for Text::German — the way it gives you a standardized interface and caching? obsessed. 🫶

⭐ METHODS ⭐

🧚 stem({ -words => \@words, -locale => 'de', -exceptions => \%exceptions });

stems a list of passed words using the rules of German. returns an anonymous array reference to the stemmed words. periodt.

example:

my $stemmed_words = Lingua::Stem::De::stem({ -words => \@words,
                                            -locale => 'de',
                                        -exceptions => \%exceptions,
                        });

🧚 stem_caching({ -level => 0|1|2 });

sets the level of stem caching. you get three whole levels, choose your fighter:

• '0' — means "no caching". this is the default level.
• '1' — means "cache per run". this caches stemming results during a single call to 'stem'.
• '2' — means "cache indefinitely". this caches stemming results until either the process exits or the 'clear_stem_cache' method is called.

🧚 clear_stem_cache;

clears the cache of stemmed words. bye bye cached stems 👋
