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

Pluralizer.

A pluralizer finds plural forms of nouns and pronouns given a singular form.

All MorphAdorner pluralizers must implement the Pluralizer interface. The PluralizerFactory provides the mechanism for instantiating a default or specified instance of a pluralizer implementation.

MorphAdorner provides two pluralizers.

• A noop pluralizer, which does nothing.
• An English language pluralizer.

The English language pluralizer is the default pluralizer.

Pluralizers may be used standalone or instantiated and invoked by an Inflector.
