Class Clitics

java.lang.Object

org.corpus_tools.salt.common.tokenizer.Clitics

public class Clitics
extends Object

Models clitics for a given language, with support for proclitics ((proclitics) and enclitics (enclitics) in this version. Meso- and endoclitics are not yet supported.

The String representation of the respective clitics needs to be a regular expression, as it will be used to Pattern.compile(String) a pattern to split the STextualDS's text, i.e., as below.

Pattern.compile("^" XClitic "(.)$")

Two examples for such a regex string are (note the main group!):

• Enclitics for English: "('(s|re|ve|d|m|em|ll)|n't)"
• Proclitics for French: "([dcjlmnstDCJLNMST]'|[Qq]u'|[Jj]usqu'|[Ll]orsqu')"
