Introduction
This is a (Classical) Latin rule-based parser and chunker. It began as a project for a senior capstone course in the fall of 2018. As a venture into natural language processing (NLP) and the complexities of computational linguistics, this project is an endeavor to apply what had been learned in a reasonable and doable manner.
However, given the complexities of language even on a fundamental level, only the parser was adequately created. The chunker currently only captures prepositional phrases, as those are relatively formulaic in nature. Furthermore, quite a bit of this code needs simplification and further abstraction to attain a more workable state. On the other hand, it serves as a solid start that will (hopefully) be built on to become something useful and effective.
