NAME

6       Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase - Inflect short English Phrases
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase;
10         use Test::More tests => 2;
11
12         my $plural   = Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::to_PL('green egg and ham');
13
14         is $plural, 'green eggs and ham';
15
16         my $singular = Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::to_S('green eggs and ham');
17
18         is $singular, 'green egg and ham';
19

DESCRIPTION

21       Attempts to pluralize or singularize short English phrases.
22
23       Does not throw exceptions at present, if you attempt to pluralize an
24       already pluralized phrase, it will leave it unchanged (and vice versa.)
25
26       The behavior of this module is subject to change as I tweak the
27       heuristics, as some things get fixed others might regress. The
28       processing of natural language is a messy business.
29
30       If it doesn't work, please email or submit to RT the example you tried,
31       and I'll try to fix it.
32

OPTIONS

34       By default, this module prefers to treat words as nouns (sometimes
35       words can be interpreted as a verb or a noun without context.) This is
36       better for things such as database table/column names, which is what
37       this module is primarily for.
38
39       This behavior can be switched with the variable $prefer_nouns. The
40       default is 1.
41
42       For example:
43
44         {
45           local $Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::prefer_nouns = 0;
46           is Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::to_S('sources split'), 'source splits';
47         }
48         {
49           local $Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::prefer_nouns = 1;
50           is Lingua::EN::Inflect::Phrase::to_S('source splits'), 'source split';
51         }
52
