/******************************* stem.c ***********************************
Purpose: Implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm documented
in: Porter, M.F., "An Algorithm For Suffix Stripping,"
Program 14 (3), July 1980, pp. 130-137.
Provenance: Written by B. Frakes and C. Cox, 1986.
Changed by C. Fox, 1990.
- made measure function a DFA
- restructured structs
- renamed functions and variables
- restricted function and variable scopes
Changed by C. Fox, July, 1991.
- added ANSI C declarations
- branch tested to 90% coverage
Notes: This code will make little sense without the the Porter
article. The stemming function converts its input to
lower case.

/******************** Private Function Declarations **********************/
/*FN***************************************************************************
WordSize( word )
Returns: int -- a weird count of word size in adjusted syllables
Purpose: Count syllables in a special way: count the number
vowel-consonant pairs in a word, disregarding initial
consonants and final vowels. The letter "y" counts as a
consonant at the beginning of a word and when it has a vowel
in front of it; otherwise (when it follows a consonant) it
is treated as a vowel. For example, the WordSize of "cat"
is 1, of "any" is 1, of "amount" is 2, of "anything" is 3.
Plan: Run a DFA to compute the word size
Notes: The easiest and fastest way to compute this funny measure is
with a finite state machine. The initial state 0 checks
the first letter. If it is a vowel, then the machine changes
to state 1, which is the "last letter was a vowel" state.
If the first letter is a consonant or y, then it changes
to state 2, the "last letter was a consonant state". In
state 1, a y is treated as a consonant (since it follows
a vowel), but in state 2, y is treated as a vowel (since
it follows a consonant. The result counter is incremented
on the transition from state 1 to state 2, since this
transition only occurs after a vowel-consonant pair, which
is what we are counting.

consonant in front of it.

a vowel iff either its first letter is one of "aeiou", or
any of its other letters are "aeiouy". The plan is to
test this condition.

Plan: Loop through the rule set until a match meeting all conditions
is found. If a rule fires, return its id, otherwise return 0.
Connditions on the length of the root are checked as part of this
function's processing because this check is so often made.
Notes: This is the main routine driving the stemmer. It goes through
a set of suffix replacement rules looking for a match on the
current suffix. When it finds one, if the root of the word
is long enough, and it meets whatever other conditions are
required, then the suffix is replaced, and the function returns.

a few additions here and there. See:
Porter, M.F., "An Algorithm For Suffix Stripping,"
Program 14 (3), July 1980, pp. 130-137.
Porter's algorithm is an ad hoc set of rewrite rules with
various conditions on rule firing. The terminology of
"step 1a" and so on, is taken directly from Porter's
article, which unfortunately gives almost no justification
for the various steps. Thus this function more or less
faithfully refects the opaque presentation in the article.
Changes from the article amount to a few additions to the
rewrite rules; these are marked in the RuleList data
structures with comments.
