## Package edu.northwestern.at.morphadorner.corpuslinguistics.inflector Description

### Inflector.

An inflector finds inflected forms of words. Currently methods are provided to find the plurals of nouns and pronouns, and the tenses of verbs.

All MorphAdorner inflectors must implement the `Inflector` interface. The `InflectorFactory` provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of an inflector implementation.

MorphAdorner provides two inflectors.

- A noop inflector, which does nothing.
- An English language inflector.

The English language inflector is the default inflector.
