public Set<String> getPunctuationTags()

Description copied from interface: HeadRules

Returns the set of punctuation tags. Attachment decisions for these tags will not be modeled.

Specified by:

getPunctuationTags in interface HeadRules

Returns:

the set of punctuation tags.

getHead

public Parse getHead(Parse[] constituents,
            String type)

Description copied from interface: HeadRules

Returns the head constituent for the specified constituents of the specified type.

Specified by:

getHead in interface HeadRules

Parameters:

constituents - The constituents which make up a constituent of the specified type.

type - The type of a constituent which is made up of the specified constituents.

Returns:

The constituent which is the head.

labelGaps

public void labelGaps(Stack<Constituent> stack)

Description copied from interface: GapLabeler

Labels the constituents found in the stack with gap labels if appropriate.

labelGaps in interface GapLabeler

Parameters:

stack - The stack of un-completed constituents.

serialize

public void serialize(Writer writer)
               throws IOException

After the entries have been written, the writer is flushed. The writer remains open after this method returns.

Parameters:

writer -

Throws:

IOException

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getArtifactSerializerClass

public Class<?> getArtifactSerializerClass()

Description copied from interface: SerializableArtifact

Retrieves the class which can serialize and recreate this artifact.
Note: The serializer class must have a public zero argument constructor or an exception is thrown during model serialization/loading.

Specified by:

getArtifactSerializerClass in interface SerializableArtifact

Returns:

the corresponding ArtifactSerializer class.
