# Tokenizer

The first module in the processing chain is the tokenizer. As described in section 2.2.1, the behaviour of the tokenizer is controlled via the TokenizerFile option in configuration file.

To create a tokenizer for a new language, just create a new tokenization rules file (e.g. copying an existing one and adapting its regexps to particularities of your language), and set it as the value for the TokenizerFile option in your new configuration file.
