DESCRIPTION

A stemmer for the Bulgarian language.

This module provides the stem and stem_bg functions, which are synonymous and can optionally be exported. They accept a single word and return a single stem.

SEE ALSO

Lingua::Stem::UniNE provides a stemming object with access to all of the implemented University of Neuchâtel stemmers including this one. It has additional features like stemming lists of words.

Lingua::Stem::Any provides a unified interface to any stemmer on CPAN, including this one, as well as additional features like normalization, casefolding, and in-place stemming.

This stemming algorithm was defined in Searching Strategies for the Bulgarian Language (PDF) by Jacques Savoy and originally implemented by him as a Perl script.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
