PolishWordTokenizer

public PolishWordTokenizer()

Method Detail

tokenize

public List<String> tokenize(String text)

Tokenizes text. The Polish tokenizer differs from the standard one in the following respects:

1. it does not treat the hyphen as part of the word if the hyphen is at the end of the word;
2. it includes n-dash and m-dash as tokenizing characters, as these are not included in the spelling dictionary;
3. it splits two kinds of compound words containing a hyphen, such as dziecko-geniusz (two nouns), polsko-indonezyjski (an ad-adjectival adjective and adjective), polsko-francusko-niemiecki (two ad-adjectival adjectives and adjective), or osiemnaście-dwadzieścia (two numerals) but not words in which the hyphen occurs before a morphological ending (such as SMS-y).

Specified by:

tokenize in interface Tokenizer

Overrides:

tokenize in class WordTokenizer

Parameters:

text - String of words to tokenize.

setTagger

public void setTagger(Tagger tagger)

Set the tagger to use in tokenizing. This is called in the constructor of Polish class, but if the class is used separately, it has to be called after the constructor to use the hybrid hyphen-tokenizing.

Parameters:

tagger - The tagger to use (compatible only with the Polish BaseTagger that uses the delivered PoliMorfologik 2.1 or later).
