@Internal
public class PortugueseContractionUtility
extends Object

Utility class to handle Portuguese contractions.

Some Corpora split contractions in its parts, for example, "da" > "de" + "a", but according to the phase of language processing, NER for instance, we can't decide if to split a contraction or not, specially because contractions inside names are not separated, but outside are.

Note: Do not use this class, internal use only!
