Linguistica 5

Linguistica 5 is a Python library for unsupervised learning of linguistic structure.

Full documentation: https://linguistica.readthedocs.io/

Apart from being a Python library, Linguistica 5 provides two additional interfaces: (i) graphical user interface; (ii) command line interface.

Download and install

Note: If you are a developer of the Linguistica project group, you should ignore this section and set up your environment by following CONTRIBUTING.md.

Linguistica 5 is available through pip:

pip install linguistica

Linguistica 5 works with Python 3.12+.

The graphical user interface requires PyQt5 and PyQtWebEngine (the latter powers the word-neighbor manifold visualization). Install them together with the gui extra:

pip install "linguistica[gui]"

These install as binary wheels on x86_64 Linux, Windows, and macOS (including Apple Silicon). On aarch64 Linux or Alpine/musl, where wheels are not published, pip may build from source instead.

Using Linguistica 5

To use Linguistica 5 as a Python library, simply import linguistica in your Python programs:

import linguistica as lxa

Quick library demo here.

To launch the Linguistica 5 graphical user interface (with the gui extra installed):

linguistica gui

To launch the Linguistica 5 command line interface:

linguistica cli
