NAME
Text::German - German grundform reduction
SYNOPSYS
use Text::German
$stem = Text::German::reduce($word)
DESCRIPTION
This is a rather incomplete implementaion of work done by
Gudrun Putze-Meier <
[email protected]>. I have to
confess that I never read her original paper. So all
credit belongs to her, all bugs are mine. I tried to get
some insight from an implementation of two students of
mine. They remain anonymous because their work was the
wost piece of code I ever saw. My code behaves mostly as
their implementation did except it is about 75 times
faster.
