Usage:
======

We assume you have installed the hfst tools. (If you have (older)
**Xerox** tools, use the m1, ... files instead of the h1, .. files
(see below).

This folder is for twolc users, the neighbour basiclexcxfst is for
xfst users (the difference is whether you write your phonology as
parallel (twolc) or cascading, feeding/bleeding rules (xfst).

The files are named 1-9 and a-f. Originally, each lexc and twolc had
the same content, but different experiments have been left in various
files just as useful illustrations to look at. Dummy files to start
from scratch with are the **smallest** *.lexc and *.twolc files.

To make analysers (h1 for the 1 files, h2 for the 2 ones, etc.), write:


make -f h1


To test analysis (xerox users: the filenames are 1.fst, etc.):

hfst-lookup 1.hfst

To test generation:

hfst-lookup i1.hfst

Or, eventually:
echo katu | hfst-lookup 1.hfst




Explanation
===========

This folder is for  lexc and twolc studies.

The goal is to experiment with toy analysers, 1.lexc for
morphology and 1.twolc for phonology, etc.

(there are several files so that several students of the same course
may check in work independently of each other)

The point with this folder lies in the makefiles: Each lexc/twolc file
pair has it own makefile, so that it is easy to make analysers, as
shown with the make command above.

Be prepared that other students may use the same file as you. If you
want to save what you have done, it might be a good idea to save it to
a separate file. Alternatively, if you check in your work, you will
find it in the svn log.

In order to get some hints, you may have a look at all .lexc or .twolc files:

cat *.lexc | less

Xerox vs. hfst
=============

The explanation above is if you have hfst compilers.
If you want to use xerox compilers, write

make -f m1

etc.

and analyse with

lookup 1.fst

etc.
