Field Detail

authorFlag

public static final boolean authorFlag

The following static final boolean variable authorFlag is a flag for use by localization authors when developing morphological rules. This flag will be set to false for a delivered run-time version, but can be set true when a morphological rule set is being developed. This flag is used to enable format checking and tracing that is important during rule development, but which is unnecessary in the run-time rule system, after the rule developer has used this facility to insure that the rules are well-formed. It is a static final variable so that the compiler will optimize the extra code away when the variable is false so that the run-time class files will be smaller. When authorFlag is false, all of the code associated with the tracing mechanism will automatically be eliminated by the compiler. See the LiteMorphRule.java file for more information.

Method Detail

getMorph

public static LiteMorph getMorph()

Return the LiteMorph for this class

computeMorphArgs

protected java.lang.String[] computeMorphArgs()

Description copied from class: LiteMorph

Dummy function for specifying legal arguments to computeMorph -- can be redefined in subclasses of LiteMorph for locales that need to compute something that cannot be done easily in the rule format.

Overrides:

computeMorph

Description copied from class: LiteMorph

Dummy function for computing morphological variants -- can be redefined in subclasses of LiteMorph for locales that need to compute something that cannot be done easily in the rule format.

Overrides:

intialize

protected void intialize()

Description copied from class: LiteMorph

Subclasses of this class (generally locale-specific) need to set up exceptions and rules. At a minium, implementations need to define an initialize method to set the localizedMorph variable to an instance of the localized Morph class, establish the rules HashTable, and initialize the size and contents of the exceptions HashTable. For languages with more complex morphology than English, such as German, it may be necessary for the localization class to define a specialization of the computeMorph method in order to handle things that are difficult to do in the rule format. If so, they must also instantiate a computeMorphArgs method to return a list of legal values for the arg argument to computeMorph. See LiteMorph_de.java for an example.
