--add_pnames

Switch

--add_pnames NAMES_LEX LANGUAGE_LEX

Description

Adds a feature table of people's-names usage, using a names lexicon and a language lexicon to identify first/last names in the text.

Argument and Default Value

Two lexicon table names (nargs=2): the names lexicon, then the language lexicon. Default: None.

Details

Known issue — always tries MySQL, regardless of your corpus's db engine. Both lexicons are loaded via lexInterface.Lexicon(mysql_config_file=...), which has no SQLite/db-type option at all — unlike the rest of DLATK, this class always connects with raw MySQL credentials. Verified: running this against a SQLite corpus still attempts (and retries, then fails) a MySQL connection for the lexicon lookups. Works against MySQL, with real names/language lexicon tables loaded first via --add_lex_table.

Other Switches

Required Switches:

• -d, -g, -t

• Two existing lexicon tables (names, language)

Example Commands

Requires MySQL — see Known issue above:
