void ULInflectionRule::addConstraint	(	const ULFeatureType &	featureType,
		int	value
	)

Inserts the specified integer-valued feature into this rule's constraint list. If an identical feature already exists, this method does nothing.

Parameters

[in]	featureType	The type of the desired constraint.
[in]	value	The value to associate with the specified feature type.

void ULInflectionRule::addConstraint ( const ULFeature & constraint )

Inserts the specified feature into this rule's constraint list. If an identical constraint already exists, this method does nothing.

Parameters

[in] feature the desired feature.

void ULInflectionRule::addStringConstraint	(	const ULFeatureType &	featureType,
		const ULString &	stringValue
	)

Inserts the specified feature into this rule's constraint list. If an identical constraint already exists, this method does nothing.

Parameters

[in]	featureType	The type of the desired constraint.
[in]	value	The value to associate with the specified feature type.

bool ULInflectionRule::affixMatches	(	const ULString &	affix,

	)

bool ULInflectionRule::applyForDissection ( ULDerivation & derivation ) const

If this rule can be applied to the front of the given derivation, modifying the root, root part of speech, and inflection rule list accordingly, then this method does so. Otherwise, it leaves the derivation unchanged. For example, suppose we have a derivation whose root is "baker" and whose derived form is "bakers". Consider the rule that takes a verb ending in "-e" and transforms it into a noun (representing a person who performs the verb) by replacing the "-e" with "-er". Then this rule can be applied to the "baker -> bakers" derivation to give us the derivation "bake -> baker -> bakers".

Returns: true if this rule has been applied to the derivation, false otherwise.

Parameters

[in,out] derivation the derivation to be modified.

bool ULInflectionRule::applyForInflection ( ULDerivation & derivation ) const

If this rule can be applied to the end of the given derivation, modifying the derivation's inflection rule list accordingly, then this method does so. Otherwise, it leaves the derivation unchanged. For example, suppose we have a derivation whose root is "bake" and whose derived form is "baker". Consider the rule that takes a singular noun and and transforms it into a plural noun by appending "-s". Then this rule can be applied to the "bake -> baker" derivation to give us the new derivation "bake -> baker -> bakers".

Returns: true if this rule has been applied to the derivation, false if the extension of the derivation was unsuccessful.

Parameters

[in,out] derivation the derivation to be modified.

void ULInflectionRule::clear ( )

Sets this rule to its default state.

bool ULInflectionRule::constraintsMatchForInflection ( const ULDerivation & derivation ) const

const ULList< ULFeature > & ULInflectionRule::getConstraintList ( ) const

Returns: a reference to this rule's constraint list.

bool ULInflectionRule::getFeature	(	const ULFeatureType &	featureType,
		ULFeature &	constraint
	)		const

Gets the constraint associated with the specified feature type, if any such value exists in this rule's feature list.

Returns: true if this ULInflectionRule has a feature with the specified feature type.

Parameters

[in]	featureType	the type of the desired constraint.
[out]	constraint	the desired constraint.
