Hi all, I want to introduce compounding support for MorfologikSpeller for the next LT release. I looked at hunspell dictionaries again and it seems that it categorizes words into prefixes, infixes, and suffixes, and additionally it has flags to designate words that are allowed only in compounds, as well as a flag to designate an affix allowed anywhere (I don't have idea what it means practically, COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG). There a flag to prohibit certain compounds as incorrect.
There are also problems with the lower and upper case (KEEPCASE flag as well as CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE). I don't exactly understand the parameter COMPOUNDMIN. Here's the old idea for us: http://wiki.languagetool.org/compounding-support-in-morfologikspeller Basically, I think it will be quite easy to parse the hunspell dictionary to get all the words with compounding flags in all their forms, so we would be able to convert hunspell dictionaries to FSA dictionaries with structured tags. But to do so, I need to understand the semantics of the flags in hunspell dictionaries, and hunspell documentation is scarce at best. Could anyone please explain it better to me? Ruud? Alternatively, we could leave the speller dictionaries as is and add the support for compounding directly in LanguageTool by using JWordSplitter to split words but I'm afraid this won't work so nicely as we don't have such a library for Dutch, for example.
