Package edu.northwestern.at.utils.corpuslinguistics.inflector Description

Inflector.

An inflector finds inflected forms of words. Currently methods are provided to find the plurals of nouns and pronouns, and the tenses of verbs.

All MorphAdorner inflectors must implement the Inflector interface. The InflectorFactory provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of an inflector implementation.

MorphAdorner provides two inflectors.

• A noop inflector, which does nothing.
• An English language inflector.

The English language inflector is the default inflector.
