=head1 DESCRIPTION

Interface to the FreeLing3 txala parser library.

=head2 C<new>

Object constructor. One argument is required: the languge code
(C<Lingua::FreeLing3> will search for the parser and the txala data
files).

=over 4

=item C<ChartParser>

Specify a reference to a L<Lingua::FreeLing3::ChartParser> where the
grammar start symbol should be obtained.

=item C<StartSymbol>

If you do not have the C<ChartParser> but know what is the grammar
start symbol, pass it with this option.

=head2 C<parse>

Alias to C<analyze>.

=cut

sub parse { &analyze }

=head2 C<analyze>

Receives a list of sentences, and returns that same list of sentences
after tagging process, enriching each sentence with a parse tree.

=cut

sub analyze {
    my ($self, $sentences) = @_;

    unless (Lingua::FreeLing3::_is_sentence_list($sentences)) {
