<h2>Documentation</h2>
<p>The functions in this module take the same parameters and return the same values as their counterparts in <a href="pattern-en.html">pattern.en</a>. Refer to the documentation there for more details. </p>
<h3>Gender</h3>
<p>German nouns and adjectives inflect according to gender. The <span class="inline_code">gender()</span> function predicts the gender (<span class="inline_code">MALE</span>, <span class="inline_code">FEMALE</span>, <span class="inline_code">NEUTRAL</span>) of a given noun with about 75% accuracy: </p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush: python;gutter: false; light: true; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; ">>>> from pattern.de import gender, MALE, FEMALE, NEUTRAL
>>> print gender('Katze')
FEMALE</pre></div>
<h3>Article</h3>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">article()</span> function returns the article (<span class="inline_code">INDEFINITE</span> or <span class="inline_code">DEFINITE</span>) inflected by gender and role (<span class="inline_code">SUBJECT</span>, <span class="inline_code">OBJECT</span>, <span class="inline_code">INDIRECT</span> or <span class="inline_code">PROPERTY</span>). In the following example, <span class="inline_code">role=OBJECT</span> means that the article is used in front of a noun that is the object of the sentence, as in: <em>Ich sehe <span style="text-decoration: underline;">die Katze</span></em> (<em>I see the cat</em> – what do I see? → the cat).</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush: python;gutter: false; light: true; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; ">>>> from pattern.de import article, DEFINITE, FEMALE, OBJECT
>>> print article('Katze', DEFINITE, gender=FEMALE, role=OBJECT)
die</pre></div>
<h3>Noun singularization & pluralization</h3>
<p>For German nouns there is <span class="inline_code">singularize()</span> and <span class="inline_code">pluralize()</span>. The implementation uses a statistical approach with 84% accuracy for singularization and 72% for pluralization.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">>>> from pattern.de import singularize, pluralize
>>> print singularize('Katzen')
>>> print pluralize('Katze')
Katze
Katzen </pre></div>
<h3>Verb conjugation</h3>
<p>For German verbs there is <span class="inline_code">conjugate()</span>, <span class="inline_code">lemma()</span>, <span class="inline_code">lexeme()</span> and <span class="inline_code">tenses()</span>. The lexicon for verb conjugation contains about 2,000 common German verbs. For unknown verbs it will fall back to a rule-based approach with an accuracy of about 87%.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">>>> from pattern.de import conjugate
>>> from pattern.de import INFINITIVE, PRESENT, SG, SUBJUNCTIVE
>>>
>>> print conjugate('war', INFINITIVE)
>>> print conjugate('war', PRESENT, 1, SG, mood=SUBJUNCTIVE)
sein
sei </pre></div>
<p>German verbs have more tenses than English verbs. In particular, the plural differs for each person and there are additional forms for the <span class="inline_code">IMPERATIVE</span> and <span class="inline_code">SUBJUNCTIVE</span> mood. The <span class="inline_code">conjugate()</span> function takes the following optional parameters:</p>

<p>Instead of optional parameters, a single short alias, or <span class="inline_code">PARTICIPLE</span> or <span class="inline_code">PAST+PARTICIPLE</span> can also be given. With no parameters, the infinitive form of the verb is returned.</p>
<h3>Attributive & predicative adjectives </h3>
<p>German adjectives inflect with an <span class="inline_code">-e</span>, <span class="inline_code">-em</span> , <span class="inline_code">-en</span>, <span class="inline_code">-er</span>, or <span class="inline_code">-es</span> suffix (e.g., <em>neugierig</em> → <em>die neugierige Katze</em>) depending on gender and role. You can get the base form with the <span class="inline_code">predicative()</span> function, or vice versa with <span class="inline_code">attributive()</span>. For predicative, a statistical approach is used with an accuracy of 98%. For attributive, you need to supply gender (<span class="inline_code">MALE</span>, <span class="inline_code">FEMALE</span>, <span class="inline_code">NEUTRAL</span>) and role (<span class="inline_code">SUBJECT</span>, <span class="inline_code">OBJECT</span>, <span class="inline_code">INDIRECT</span>, <span class="inline_code">PROPERTY</span>).</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">>>> from pattern.de import attributive, predicative
>>> from pattern.de import MALE, FEMALE, SUBJECT, OBJECT
>>>
>>> print predicative('neugierige')
>>> print attributive('neugierig', gender=FEMALE)
>>> print attributive('neugierig', gender=FEMALE, role=OBJECT)
>>> print attributive('neugierig', gender=FEMALE, role=INDIRECT, article="die")
neugierig
neugierige
neugierige
neugierigen </pre></div>
<h3>Parser</h3>
<p>For parsing there is <span class="inline_code">parse()</span>, <span class="inline_code">parsetree()</span> and <span class="inline_code">split()</span>. The <span class="inline_code">parse()</span> function annotates words in the given string with their part-of-speech <a class="link-maintenance" href="mbsp-tags.html">tags</a> (e.g., <span class="postag">NN</span> for nouns and <span class="postag">VB</span> for verbs). The <span class="inline_code">parsetree()</span> function takes a string and returns a tree of nested objects (<span class="inline_code">Text</span> → <span class="inline_code">Sentence</span> → <span class="inline_code">Chunk</span> → <span class="inline_code">Word</span>). The <span class="inline_code">split()</span> function takes the output of <span class="inline_code">parse()</span> and returns a <span class="inline_code">Text</span>. See the pattern.en documentation (<a class="link-maintenance" href="pattern-en.html#tree">here</a>) how to manipulate <span class="inline_code">Text</span> objects. </p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">>>> from pattern.de import parse, split
>>>
>>> s = parse('Die Katze liegt auf der Matte.')
>>> for sentence in split(s):
>>> print sentence
Sentence('Die/DT/B-NP/O Katze/NN/I-NP/O liegt/VB/B-VP/O'
'auf/IN/B-PP/B-PNP der/DT/B-NP/I-PNP Matte/NN/I-NP/I-PNP ././O/O')</pre></div>
<p>The parser is built on Gerold Schneider & Martin Volk's <a href="http://www.zora.uzh.ch/28579/" target="_blank">German language model</a>. The accuracy is around 85%. The original <a href="http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xnemcik/nlp/sarrebrugge/handout.pdf" target="_self">STTS</a> tagset is mapped to <a href="mbsp-tags.html">Penn Treebank</a> tagset. If you need to work with the original tags you can also use <span class="inline_code">parse()</span> with an optional parameter <span class="inline_code">tagset="STTS"</span>.</p>

<h3>Sentiment analysis</h3>
<p>There's no <span class="inline_code">sentiment()</span> function for German yet.</p>
<p class="small"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span>: We did a test by automatically assigning scores (<span class="inline_code">-1.0</span> → +<span class="inline_code">1.0</span>) to adjectives translated from English, but this approach only had 35% accuracy.</p>
