Lingua Zompist Kebreni

Details

Lingua::Zompist::Kebreni is a Perl module to inflect Kebreni verbs.

SYNOPSIS



use Lingua::Zompist::Kebreni;

$word = Lingua::Zompist::Kebreni->new('kanu');

$inflection = $word->perfective;
$inflection = $word->make_polite->benefactive->polite;

$base = $word->base;
$string = $word->to_string; or use "$word"

Overview

This module allows you to inflect Kebreni verbs. Kebreni is a language spoken on the fictional world of Almea, created by Mark Rosenfelder. It has a rather "interesting" verbal system (of which Mark says he's particularly proud).

The module has an object-oriented interface. To use it, first create an object by calling the new method and passing it the verb name in traditional orthography -- for example, 'kanu' or "z'ynu". Use the dictionary form (the imperfective) for this.

Now you can call various methods on this object. Each method, when successful, will return another object. This is useful becuause it is often necessary to chain method calls. For example, to form the volitional benefactive, call the 'benefactive' method on your verb object and then the 'volitional' method on the return value of the 'benefactive' method, for example, like this:

$inflected = $word->benefactive->volitional;

The module also has an overloaded "" function, so if you use a Lingua::Zompist::Kebreni object in a string context, it will give you the string representation. So you could print out the volitional benefactive of 'kanu' like this:

$inflected = Lingua::Zompist::Kebreni->new('kanu')
->benefactive
->volitional;
print "The inflected form is $inflectedn";

You can also explicitly stringify an object by calling the to_string method on it.
