malaga
The program malaga
is the user interface for analysing word forms and
sentences, displaying the results and finding bugs in a grammar. Start
malaga
with the name of a project file as argument:
malaga english.pro
When malaga
has been started, it loads the symbol file, the lexicon file
and the morphology rule file, and the syntax rule file, if there is one. After
loading, the prompt appears. Then malaga
is ready to execute your
commands:

You can now enter any malaga
command. If you are not sure about
the name of a command, use the command help
to get an overview of
all malaga
commands.
If you want to quit malaga
, enter the command quit
.
You can use the following command line options when you start malaga
:
malaga
in morphology mode. That is, word forms are
being read in from the standard input stream and analysed (one word form
per line). The analysis result is being written to the standard output
stream.
malaga
in syntax mode. That is, sentences are being
read in from the standard input stream and analysed (one sentence per
line). The analysis result is being written to the standard output
stream.
malaga
has been started in syntax or morphology mode, and the
option -quoted has been used, then each input line must be enclosed in
double quotes which are removed prior to analysis. Within the double quotes
there may be any combination of printable characters except the backslash
\ and the double quotes. These characters must be preceded by a \
(escape character).
malaga
in argument analysis mode. That is, the
argument following the -input is being analysed. Either the
-morphology or the -syntax option must also be
given. The analysis result is being pretty-printed to the standard
output stream.
