-TectoMT is a highly modular NLP (Natural Language Processing) software system implemented in Perl programming language under Linux. It is primarily aimed at Machine Translation, making use of the ideas and technology created during the Prague Dependency Treebank project. At the same time, it is also hoped to significantly facilitate and accelerate development of software solutions of many other NLP tasks, especially due to re-usability of the numerous integrated processing modules (called blocks), which are equipped with uniform object-oriented interfaces. +TectoMT is a highly modular NLP (Natural Language Processing) software system implemented in Perl programming language under Linux.

 **Advanced version**: This solution shifts object (or more objects) of a verb just in front of that verb node. So f.e.: //Mr. Brown has urged MPs.// changes to: //Mr. Brown has MPs urged.// You can try to change this solution, so the final sentence would be: //Mr. Brown MPs has urged.// You may need a method ''$node->shift_after_subtree($root_of_that_subtree)''. Subjects should have attribute '''afun' eq 'Sb'''. **Advanced version**: This solution shifts object (or more objects) of a verb just in front of that verb node.
