NAME

6       Lingua::StopWords - Stop words for several languages.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Lingua::StopWords qw( getStopWords );
10           my $stopwords = getStopWords('en');
11
12           my @words = qw( i am the walrus goo goo g'joob );
13
14           # prints "walrus goo goo g'joob"
15           print join ' ', grep { !$stopwords->{$_} } @words;
16

DESCRIPTION

18       In keyword search, it is common practice to suppress a collection of
19       "stopwords": words such as "the", "and", "maybe", etc. which exist in
20       in a large number of documents and do not tell you anything important
21       about any document which contains them.  This module provides such
22       "stoplists" in several languages.

FUNCTIONS

46   getStopWords
47           my $stoplist      = getStopWords('en');
48           my $utf8_stoplist = getStopWords('en', 'UTF-8');
49
50       Retrieve a stoplist in the form of a hashref where the keys are all
51       stopwords and the values are all 1.
52
53           $stoplist = {
54               and => 1,
55               if  => 1,
56               # ...
57           };
58
59       getStopWords() expects 1-2 arguments.  The first, which is required, is
60       an ISO code representing a supported language.  If the ISO code cannot
61       be found, getStopWords returns undef.
62
63       The second argument should be 'UTF-8' if you want the stopwords encoded
64       in UTF-8.  The UTF-8 flag will be turned on, so make sure you
65       understand all the implications of that.
