Working with corpus

import elotl.corpus

Listing available corpus

print("Name\t\tDescription")
list_of_corpus = elotl.corpus.list_of_corpus()
for row in list_of_corpus:
    print(row)

Output:

Name		Description
['axolotl', 'Is a Spanish-Nahuatl parallel corpus']
['tsunkua', 'Is a Spanish-Otomí parallel corpus']
['kolo', 'Is a Spanish-Mixteco parallel corpus']

Loading a corpus

If a non-existent corpus is requested, a value of 0 is returned.

axolotl = elotl.corpus.load('axolotlr')
if axolotl == 0:
    print("The name entered does not correspond to any corpus")

If an existing corpus is entered, a list is returned.

axolotl = elotl.corpus.load('axolotl')
print(axolotl[0])

[
    'Y así, cuando hizo su ofrenda de fuego, se sienta delante de los demás y una persona se queda junto a él.',
    'Auh in ye yuhqui in on tlenamacac niman ye ic teixpan on motlalia ce tlacatl itech mocaua.',
    'Classical Nahuatl',
    'Vida económica de Tenochtitlan',
    'nci'
]

Each element of the list has four indices:

• non_original_language (l1)
• original_language (l2)
• variant
• document_name
• iso lang (optional)

tsunkua = elotl.corpus.load('tsunkua')
  for row in tsunkua:
      print(row[0]) # language 1
      print(row[1]) # language 2
      print(row[2]) # variant
      print(row[3]) # document
