Class Morpheme

java.lang.Object
  net.java.sen.dictionary.Morpheme

public class Morpheme
extends Object

A class representing part-of-speech data for a morpheme. When created during the analysis of a string, a Morpheme is built as a lazy proxy onto the Dictionary's part-of-speech file. Once created, a Morpheme can be altered without changing the underlying data (if any)

Thread Safety: Objects of this class are NOT thread safe and should not be accessed simultaneously by multiple threads.

CAUTION: Morphemes are implemented as lazy proxies onto a Dictionary, and care should be taken not to access the same Dictionary from multiple threads. Once any member of a Morpheme has been read, its link to the Dictionary is broken and this restriction is relaxed

Constructor Summary

Morpheme()
Creates a blank, modifiable Morpheme that does not link to any Dictionary

Morpheme(Dictionary dictionary, int partOfSpeechIndex)
Builds a lazy proxy onto a part-of-speech stored in a Dictionary

Morpheme(String partOfSpeech, String conjugationalType, String conjugationalForm, String basicForm, String[] readings, String[] pronunciations, String additionalInformation)
Creates a literal Morpheme that does not link to any Dictionary

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object object)
String	getAdditionalInformation() Gets the additional information string
String	getBasicForm() Gets the unconjugated form of the morpheme
String	getConjugationalForm() Gets the conjugation form of the morpheme
String	getConjugationalType() Gets the conjugation type of the morpheme
String	getPartOfSpeech() Gets the part-of-speech in Chasen format
List<String>	getPronunciations() Gets the pronunciations of the morpheme
List<String>	getReadings() Gets the readings of the morpheme
void	setAdditionalInformation(String additionalInformation) Sets an arbitrary string of additional information
String	toString()
