Method Detail

getImmediateRelationship

public static int getImmediateRelationship(IndexWord sourceWord,
                                           IndexWord targetWord)

Looks whether the target word is one of the words in one of the synsets of the source word.

Parameters:

sourceWord - source word

targetWord - target word

Returns:

int the sense of the source word that contains the target word

findRelationships

public static RelationshipList findRelationships(Synset sourceSynset,
                                                 Synset targetSynset,
                                                 PointerType type)
                                          throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException,
                                                 JWNLException

Finds all relationships of type type between sourceSynset and targetSynset. This method creates a symmetric or asymmetric relationship based on whether type is symmetric.

Parameters:

sourceSynset - source synset

targetSynset - target synset

type - pointer type

Returns:

all relationships of type type between sourceSynset and targetSynset

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - CloneNotSupportedException

JWNLException - JWNLException

findRelationships

public static RelationshipList findRelationships(Synset sourceSynset,
                                                 Synset targetSynset,
                                                 PointerType type,
                                                 int depth)
                                          throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException,
                                                 JWNLException

Finds all relationships of type type between sourceSynset and targetSynset to depth depth. This method creates a symmetric or asymmetric relationship based on whether type is symmetric.

Parameters:

sourceSynset - source synset

targetSynset - target synset

type - pointer type

depth - depth

Returns:

all relationships of type type between sourceSynset and targetSynset

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - CloneNotSupportedException
