To maintain tokenization compatibility, and thus matchability with the gold standard annotation, we retained the system's own preprocessor, but for a new language a working version could be produced with a few lines of code, basically line-breaking on space and punctuation, with a few exceptions for abbreviations and -depending on the languagecontractions, enclitics and possibly names.
we reduced the original morphological analyzer to a mere look-up program with access only to a mini-lexicon of irregular and closed-class words, inactivating the real, verbo-nominal lexicon.
