EnglishWordTokenizer

public EnglishWordTokenizer()

Method Detail

tokenize

public List<String> tokenize(String text)

Tokenizes text. The English tokenizer differs from the standard one in two respects:

1. it does not treat the hyphen as part of the word if the hyphen is at the end of the word;
2. it includes n-dash as a tokenizing character, as it is used without a whitespace in English.

Specified by:

tokenize in interface Tokenizer

Overrides:

tokenize in class WordTokenizer

Parameters:

text - String of words to tokenize.
