Method Detail

getRootMWEDesc

IRootMWEDesc getRootMWEDesc()

Returns the root description of the multi-word expression (MWE). IThis description includes the lemma, a list of parts, and part of speech of the multi-word expression.

Returns:

the description of the non-inflected form of this multi-word expression (MWE).

Since:

jMWE 1.0.0

getParts

java.util.List<? extends IInfMWEDesc.IInfPart> getParts()

Returns an unmodifiable list of parts that comprise the MWE.

Specified by:

getParts in interface IMWEDesc

Returns:

an unmodifiable list of parts that comprise the MWE.

Since:

jMWE 1.0.0

getMarkedPattern

int getMarkedPattern()

The number of times this description occurs in the reference concordance being marked as an occurrence of the MWE, while matching one of the known inflection patterns. To be counted as a pattern-inflected unmarked occurrence, there must be a continuous run of tokens whose forms or stems match, in order, the forms of the parts (ignoring case) of this MWE description, and whose inflection pattern matches one of reference inflection patterns. Will always zero or a positive number.

Returns:

the number of inflected unmarked occurrences of this MWE in the reference concordance.
