Summary: Removing grave accent in Dutch Snowball algorithm
Key: LUCENE-9295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9295
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nguyen Minh Gia Huy
I have a concern on how [Dutch Snowball
algorithm|http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/dutch/stemmer.html] handles
the grave accent of *è.*
It removes the grave accents on *{{à}}*, {{*ò*}}, *{{ù}}*, *{{ì}}* but doesn't
with *è*. I wonder if there is something special with *è* that the stemmer
wants to ignore it.
Also, from [http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=SpellingAndPronunciation.25,] I
found out that grave accent is not used commonly in Dutch anymore except in
some borrowed French words.
If *è* is not that common in Dutch, removing grave accent on it sounds
reasonable to me and definitely benefits search recall in general.
I would like to know if anyone had a strong opinion on this topic ? It would
also nice if you have some point of views as a Dutch speaker.
Thanks !
