Method Detail

getLemmas

java.lang.String[] getLemmas(java.lang.String word,
                             java.lang.String pos)

Returns the lemmas of the specified word with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

word - The word whose lemmas are desired.

pos - The part-of-speech of the specified word.

Returns:

The lemmas of the specified word given the specified part-of-speech.

getSenseKey

java.lang.String getSenseKey(java.lang.String lemma,
                             java.lang.String pos,
                             int senseNumber)

Returns a key indicating the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

lemma - The lemmas for which the key is desired.

pos - The pos for which the key is desired.

senseNumber - The sense number for which the key is desired.

Returns:

a key indicating the specified sense number of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

getNumSenses

int getNumSenses(java.lang.String lemma,
                 java.lang.String pos)

Returns the number of senses in the dictionry for the specified lemma.

Parameters:

lemma - A lemmatized form of the word to look up.

pos - The part-of-sppech for the lemma.

Returns:

the number of senses in the dictionry for the specified lemma.

getParentSenseKeys

java.lang.String[] getParentSenseKeys(java.lang.String lemma,
                                      java.lang.String pos,
                                      int senseNumber)

Returns an array of keys for each parent of the specified sense nuber of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.

Parameters:

lemma - A lemmatized form of the word to look up.

pos - The part-of-sppech for the lemma.

senseNumber - The sense number for which the parent keys are desired.

Returns:

an array of keys for each parent of the specified sense nuber of the specified lemma with the specified part-of-speech.
