Class Sentence

java.lang.Object

edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.lbjava.parse.LinkedChild

edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.lbjava.nlp.Sentence

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Sentence
extends edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.lbjava.parse.LinkedChild

This representation of a sentence simply stores the entire text of the sentence in a string. This may include any newlines present in the input, depending on the parser (e.g., SentenceSplitter will leave them in). However, this class also provides methods to convert that string to other representations.
