Morphology	class	spacy/morphology.pyx

Store the possible morphological analyses for a language, and index them by hash. To save space on each token, tokens only know the hash of their morphological analysis, so queries of morphological attributes are delegated to this class.

Morphology.__init__

Create a Morphology object using the tag map, lemmatizer and exceptions.

Example

from spacy.morphology import Morphology

morphology = Morphology(strings, tag_map, lemmatizer)

Name	Type	Description
strings	StringStore	The string store.
tag_map	Dict[str, Dict]	The tag map.
lemmatizer	Lemmatizer	The lemmatizer.
exc	Dict[str, Dict]	A dictionary of exceptions in the format {tag: {orth: {"POS": "X", "Feat1": "Val1, "Feat2": "Val2", ...}

Morphology.add

Insert a morphological analysis in the morphology table, if not already present. The morphological analysis may be provided in the UD FEATS format as a string or in the tag map dictionary format. Returns the hash of the new analysis.

Example

feats = "Feat1=Val1|Feat2=Val2"
hash = nlp.vocab.morphology.add(feats)
assert hash == nlp.vocab.strings[feats]

Name	Type	Description
features	Union[Dict, str]	The morphological features.

Morphology.get

Example

feats = "Feat1=Val1|Feat2=Val2"
hash = nlp.vocab.morphology.add(feats)
assert nlp.vocab.morphology.get(hash) == feats

Get the FEATS string for the hash of the morphological analysis.

Name	Type	Description
morph	int	The hash of the morphological analysis.

Morphology.load_tag_map

Replace the current tag map with the provided tag map.

Name	Type	Description
tag_map	Dict[str, Dict]	The tag map.

Morphology.load_morph_exceptions

Replace the current morphological exceptions with the provided exceptions.

Name	Type	Description
morph_rules	Dict[str, Dict]	The morphological exceptions.

Morphology.add_special_case

Add a special-case rule to the morphological analyzer. Tokens whose tag and orth match the rule will receive the specified properties.

Example

attrs = {"POS": "DET", "Definite": "Def"}
morphology.add_special_case("DT", "the", attrs)

Name	Type	Description
tag_str	str	The fine-grained tag.
orth_str	str	The token text.
attrs	dict	The features to assign for this token and tag.

Morphology.exc

The current morphological exceptions.

Name	Type	Description
YIELDS	dict	The current dictionary of morphological exceptions.

Morphology.lemmatize

TODO

Morphology.feats_to_dict

Convert a string FEATS representation to a dictionary of features and values in the same format as the tag map.

Example

from spacy.morphology import Morphology
d = Morphology.feats_to_dict("Feat1=Val1|Feat2=Val2")
assert d == {"Feat1": "Val1", "Feat2": "Val2"}

Name	Type	Description
feats	str	The morphological features in Universal Dependencies FEATS format.
RETURNS	dict	The morphological features as a dictionary.

Morphology.dict_to_feats

Convert a dictionary of features and values to a string FEATS representation.

Example

from spacy.morphology import Morphology
f = Morphology.dict_to_feats({"Feat1": "Val1", "Feat2": "Val2"})
assert f == "Feat1=Val1|Feat2=Val2"

Name	Type	Description
feats_dict	Dict[str, Dict]	The morphological features as a dictionary.
RETURNS	str	The morphological features as in Universal Dependencies FEATS format.

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
FEATURE_SEP	str	The FEATS feature separator. Default is `
FIELD_SEP	str	The FEATS field separator. Default is =.
VALUE_SEP	str	The FEATS value separator. Default is ,.
