class	Linguistic	MBS MacCocoa Plugin	17.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Analyze natural language to tag part of speech and lexical class, identify proper names, perform lemmatization, and determine the language and script (orthography) of text.

Example

dim TagScheme as string = NSLinguisticTaggerMBS.NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage
dim TagSchemes() as string = array(TagScheme)
dim t as new NSLinguisticTaggerMBS(TagSchemes)

t.Text = "Hallo Leute"

dim tokenRange as NSRangeMBS
dim sentenceRange as NSRangeMBS
dim tag as string = t.tagAtIndex(0, TagScheme, tokenRange, sentenceRange)

MsgBox "Language: "+tag // should be "de" for German

The NSLinguisticTaggerMBS class provides a uniform interface to a variety of natural language processing functionality with support for many different languages and scripts. You can use NSLinguisticTaggerMBS to segment natural language text into paragraphs, sentences, or words, and tag information about those tokens, such as part of speech, lexical class, lemma, script, and language.
When you create a linguistic tagger, you specify what kind of information you're interested in by passing one or more
NSLinguisticTagScheme values. Set the string property to the natural language text you want to analyze, and the linguistic tagger processes it according to the specified tag schemes. You can then enumerate over the tags in a specified range, using the methods described in Enumerating Linguistic Tags, to get the information requested for a given scheme and unit.

9 constants

Options

Constant	Value	Description
NSLinguisticTaggerJoinNames	16	Typically, multiple-word names will be returned as multiple tokens, following the standard tokenization practice of the tagger. If this option is set, then multiple-word names will be joined together and returned as a single token.
NSLinguisticTaggerOmitOther	8	Omit tokens of type NSLinguisticTagOther (non-linguistic items, such as symbols).
NSLinguisticTaggerOmitPunctuation	2	Omit tokens of type NSLinguisticTagPunctuation (all punctuation).
NSLinguisticTaggerOmitWhitespace	4	Omit tokens of type NSLinguisticTagWhitespace (whitespace of all sorts).
NSLinguisticTaggerOmitWords	1	Omit tokens of type NSLinguisticTagWord (items considered to be words).

Units

Constant	Value	Description
NSLinguisticTaggerUnitDocument	3	The document in its entirety.
NSLinguisticTaggerUnitParagraph	2	An individual paragraph.
NSLinguisticTaggerUnitSentence	1	An individual sentence.
NSLinguisticTaggerUnitWord	0	An individual word.
