Class Morpheme

java.lang.Object

net.java.sen.dictionary.Morpheme

public class Morpheme
extends Object

A class representing part-of-speech data for a morpheme. When created during the analysis of a string, a Morpheme is built as a lazy proxy onto the Dictionary's part-of-speech file. Once created, a Morpheme can be altered without changing the underlying data (if any)

Thread Safety: Objects of this class are NOT thread safe and should not be accessed simultaneously by multiple threads.

CAUTION: Morphemes are implemented as lazy proxies onto a Dictionary, and care should be taken not to access the same Dictionary from multiple threads. Once any member of a Morpheme has been read, its link to the Dictionary is broken and this restriction is relaxed
