simple turing nlp

A tool that uses a built in dictionary to parse sentences and return them as a question. Works on simple sentences by moving verbs to the beginning of those sentences. Based on the conceptual idea of using a turing machine to interpret natural language and using python as a simulator. Python 2.x.x required

##Commandline options Commandline options offer an extension of functionality. They allow the user to add to the dictionary of each of the main parts of speech. In this case it allows the user to customize their own dictionary to the words and pharses they most often use.

##Usage Should be run with grammatical sentences that end in some kind of punctuation. These sentences should be placed on the commandline all at once and will then be parsed and returned along with a copy of the modified grammar.

##Example

Joe is Bob.
Original: Joe is Bob.
New: is Joe Bob.

##To Do

• Extend to recursive languages
• Enable handling of verb changing
