stemmer_pl

Stemmer for Polish language, based on Porter's algorithm.

It's not perfect, as I do not have background in linguistics, but I hope it's good enough. It is solely based on this python implementation.

About this package

This package provides a simple stemmer for Polish language. For provided word it extracts its stem by cutting off its affixes (prefixes and suffixes).

For example:

• fajni -> fajn
• chłopców -> chłopc
• grzecznie -> grzeczn
• najlepszy -> lep

Installation

npm install stemmer_pl

API

getStem(word: string) -> string

Return stem for given word. If no affixes were cut off it returns the same word.

Usage

import getStem from 'stemmer_pl'

const stem = getStem('fajni')
console.log(stem) // expected output: fajn
