NAME

       Polygen	- Polygen is a powerful gadget for creating spontaneous sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following custom syn-
       tactical and lexical rules.

SYNOPSIS

       polygen [options] sources

DESCRIPTION

       Polygen is a tool for creating incidental sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following  custom  syntactical  and  lexical
       rules.

       Formally,  it  is  an interpreter of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret means executing a source program in
       real time and eventually outputting its result.

       Here a source program is a grammar definition, the execution consists in the exploration of such grammar by selecting a random path and the
       result is the sentence built on the way.

       Though  PolyGen	is  quite a seriuos piece of software then, what else would be more noble for it than being used as a parody tool for lin-
       guistical habits, stereotypes and trends of this foolish era?

       Principles of parody are focusing a ridiculous topic and eventually abstracting its rules and schemes (here in terms of a  grammar  defini-
       tion) by which reproducing it through the variatio device.

       And randomization is perfect at this purpose thanks to its purely asemantic behaviour =:)

OPTIONS

       Please run polygen without parameters for an explanation on how to run polygen.

NAME

       voikkogc - test program for Voikko grammar checker

SYNOPSIS

       voikkogc [options]

DESCRIPTION

       voikkogc is a test program for grammar checking functionality in libvoikko, library of Finnish language tools.  It reads sentences or para-
       graphs from stdin (one per line) and print the results to stdout.  The results are structures containing information about  grammar  errors
       found in the input paragraph.

OPTIONS

       --tokenize
	      Instead  of looking for grammar errors, split input into tokens. The tokens are prefixed by type: "W" is a word, "P" is punctuation,
	      "S" is whitespace, "U" is unknown and "E" is a prefix for error messages.

       --split-sentences
	      Instead of looking for grammar errors, split input into sentences. The sentences are prefixed by type: "B" means that  end  of  sen-
	      tence  is  a  probably correct, "P" means that end of sentence is a possibly correct (but probably this and the next identified sen-
	      tence should be joined) and "E" means that sentence ends at the end of input.

       -n     Prefix all grammar checker messages with line number of input data.

       accept_titles=n

       accept_unfinished_paragraphs=n

       accept_bulleted_lists=n
	      Set the value of the specified boolean option.

       explanation_language=langcode
	      Print human readable error explanation in the specified language.

BUGS

       Human readable error explanations are printed in UTF-8 regardless of current locale settings.
