MALAGA(1)

NAME
malaga - natural-language word and sentence analysis

SYNOPSIS
malaga [-morphology|-syntax] [-quoted] [-input input] project-file

DESCRIPTION
Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism. Malaga grammars can be used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

The program malaga is Malaga's user interface for analysing word forms and sentences, displaying the results and finding bugs in a grammar.

malaga requires the name of a language-dependent project-file as a command-line argument.

If no command line options are given, malaga starts in interactive mode, and you can enter commands. If you are not sure about the name of a command, use the command help to get an overview of all malaga commands.

If you want to quit malaga, enter the command quit.

See info Malaga for details.
