💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to German(3) from User Contributed Perl Documentation — this is the manual page for Text::German, aka German grundform reduction ✨

✨ SYNOPSYS ✨

the whole synopsis is literally this, no cap:

"use Text::German;"

"$stem = Text::German::reduce($word)"

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: this is a rather incomplete implementaion of work done by Gudrun Putze-Meier. The author has to confess that he never read her original paper — so all credit belongs to her, and all bugs are his 😭.

He tried to get some insight from an implementation by two of his students. They stay anonymous because their work was, quote, “the wost piece of code I ever saw” 💀. His code behaves mostly like their implementation did, except it is about 75 times faster 🔥.
