What is `pylazaro`¶

pylazaro is a Python library that automatically detects lexical borrowings (or loanwords) in Spanish text, particularly borrowings that come from English (a.k.a. anglicisms), such as app, lawfare, fake news or machine learning.

Example¶

Here is a minimal example of how to install and use pylazaro:

$ pip install pylazaro

>>> from pylazaro import Lazaro
>>> tagger = Lazaro()
>>> text = "Inteligencia artificial aplicada al sector del blockchain, la e-mobility y las smarts grids entre otros; favoreciendo las interacciones colaborativas."
>>> result = tagger.analyze(text)
>>> result.borrowings_to_tuple()
[('blockchain', 'en'), ('e-mobility', 'en'), ('smarts grids', 'en')]
>>> output.borrowings_to_dict()
[{'borrowing': 'blockchain', 'language': 'en', 'start_pos': 6, 'end_pos': 7}, {'borrowing': 'e-mobility', 'language': 'en', 'start_pos': 9, 'end_pos': 10}, {'borrowing': 'smarts grids', 'language': 'en', 'start_pos': 12, 'end_pos': 14}]
>>> result.tag_per_token()
[('Inteligencia', 'O'), ('artificial', 'O'), ('aplicada', 'O'), ('al', 'O'), ('sector', 'O'), ('del', 'O'), ('blockchain', 'B-ENG'), (',', 'O'), ('la', 'O'), ('e-mobility', 'B-ENG'), ('y', 'O'), ('las', 'O'), ('smarts', 'B-ENG'), ('grids', 'I-ENG'), ('entre', 'O'), ('otros', 'O'), (';', 'O'), ('favoreciendo', 'O'), ('las', 'O'), ('interacciones', 'O'), ('colaborativas', 'O'), ('.', 'O')]
