[Corpora-List] fast string replacement

[js at cis.uni-muenchen.de]

Hello,

I am looking for a program that

- takes as input a string (!) rewriting dictionary and and a corpus
- applies all rewriting rules to all lines of the corpus
- is fast, stable and free
- works under Linux

Example:

Some rewriting rules:

 book3, books/v:3:pres;n:plur
 nice, nice/adj

A "corpus" before transduction:

 John reads nice books.

The same corpus after transduction:

 John reads nice/adj books/v:3:pres;n:plur

Does anyone know such a program?
