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

### Syllable counter.

A hyphenator marks a word with potential hyphenation points.

All MorphAdorner hyphenators must implement the `Hyphenator` interface. The `Hyphenator` provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of a hyphenator implementation.

MorphAdorner provides an English hyphenator using British hyphenation rules as the default. The hyphenator uses the TeX algorithms and data files for hyphenation.
