/******************************* stem.c *********************************** Purpose: Implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm documented in: Porter, M.F., "An Algorithm For Suffix Stripping," Program 14 (3), July 1980, pp. 130-137. Provenance: Written by B. Frakes and C. Cox, 1986. Changed by C. Fox, 1990. - made measure function a DFA - restructured structs - renamed functions and variables - restricted function and variable scopes Changed by C. Fox, July, 1991. - added ANSI C declarations - branch tested to 90% coverage Notes: This code will make little sense without the the Porter article. The stemming function converts its input to lower case. **/ /************************ Standard Include Files *************************/ #include #include #include /*****************************************************************************/ /***************** Private Defines and Data Structures *******************/ #define FALSE 0 #define TRUE 1 #define EOS '\0' #define IsVowel(c) ('a'==(c)||'e'==(c)||'i'==(c)||'o'==(c)||'u'==(c)) typedef struct { int id;

/*****************************************************************************/ /******************** Private Function Declarations **********************/ /*FN*************************************************************************** WordSize( word ) Returns: int -- a weird count of word size in adjusted syllables Purpose: Count syllables in a special way: count the number vowel-consonant pairs in a word, disregarding initial consonants and final vowels. The letter "y" counts as a consonant at the beginning of a word and when it has a vowel in front of it; otherwise (when it follows a consonant) it is treated as a vowel. For example, the WordSize of "cat" is 1, of "any" is 1, of "amount" is 2, of "anything" is 3. Plan: Run a DFA to compute the word size Notes: The easiest and fastest way to compute this funny measure is with a finite state machine. The initial state 0 checks the first letter. If it is a vowel, then the machine changes to state 1, which is the "last letter was a vowel" state. If the first letter is a consonant or y, then it changes to state 2, the "last letter was a consonant state". In state 1, a y is treated as a consonant (since it follows a vowel), but in state 2, y is treated as a vowel (since it follows a consonant. The result counter is incremented on the transition from state 1 to state 2, since this transition only occurs after a vowel-consonant pair, which is what we are counting. **/ static int WordSize( word ) char *word; /* in: word having its WordSize taken */ { register int result; /* WordSize of the word */ register int state; /* current state in machine */ result = 0; state = 0; /* Run a DFA to compute the word size */ while ( EOS != *word ) { switch ( state ) { case 0: state = (IsVowel(*word)) ? 1 : 2; break; case 1: state = (IsVowel(*word)) ? 1 : 2; if ( 2 == state ) result++; break; case 2: state = (IsVowel(*word) || ('y' == *word)) ? 1 : 2; break; } word++; } return( result ); } /* WordSize */ /*FN************************************************************************** ContainsVowel( word ) Returns: int -- TRUE (1) if the word parameter contains a vowel, FALSE (0) otherwise. Purpose: Some of the rewrite rules apply only to a root containing a vowel, where a vowel is one of "aeiou" or y with a consonant in front of it. Plan: Obviously, under the definition of a vowel, a word contains a vowel iff either its first letter is one of "aeiou", or any of its other letters are "aeiouy". The plan is to test this condition.

If a rule fires, return its id, otherwise return 0. Connditions on the length of the root are checked as part of this function's processing because this check is so often made. Notes: This is the main routine driving the stemmer. It goes through a set of suffix replacement rules looking for a match on the current suffix.
