-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.

   * Each bundle contains tree shaped sentence representations on various linguistic layers. In our example ''sample.tmt'' we have morphological tree (''SEnglishM'') in each bundle. Later on, also an analytical layer (''SEnglishA'') will appear in each bundle as we proceed with our analysis.    * Each bundle contains tree shaped sentence representations on various linguistic layers.
