Well if you were prepared to type a search for computational linguistics software into google, you would find several free tools available for linux listed on pages such as https://martinweisser.org/corpora_site/comp_ling_resources.html https://www.sil.org/linguistics/linguistics-software and other pages contining reviews of such software, so perhaps you could start there rather than writing your own?
