Split a Word into Pieces

Description

Recursively splits a word into constituent pieces, based on Wiktionary annotations. There are two main categories of word pieces used: inflections (standard verb/noun/comparative adjective forms, defined in practice here as endings identified in Wiktionary by inflectional function without reference to the actual form of the ending) and morphemes (typically denoted in Wiktionary by etymology templates).

Usage

process_word(word, sight_words = default_sight_words(), use_lookup = TRUE)

Arguments

word	Character; a word to process.
sight_words	Character vector; words to not break down further. Defaults to the included sight_words list; to include no sight words, pass in an empty character vector to this parameter.
use_lookup	Logical; whether to use a cached lookup table (if available) or always process the word from scratch. If the word is not available in the lookup, processing (and likely a call to the Wiktionary API) will still occur. You might want to set this value to FALSE if you've made recent edits to Wiktionary or otherwise want to see if something has changed recently.

Value

Character; the word split into pieces.
