This poject is a basic morphological, syntactic, and semantic parser for Japanese. This was created as a final project for LING4424 (Computational Linguistics) at Cornell University.

Both NLTK and Foma must be installed on the system in order to build.

To build, simply go to the root of the project directory and run make or make all. To verify the system was built and is working correctly, run make test.

To run the system, run make run. This will open up a python interpreter with the parser already loaded into an object called p. Then, try parsing one of the sentences below or try your own sentence!

p.showParse(u'りんごがメアリーちゃんに食べられた')
p.showParse(u'犬が日本語が話せません')
p.showParse(u'世の中がわかります')
p.showParse(u'英語が安藤先生に話されます')
