Class RiConjugator

java.lang.Object
  rita.RiObject
      rita.RiConjugator

All Implemented Interfaces:

processing.core.PConstants, RiConstants

public class RiConjugator
extends RiObject
implements RiConstants

Handles verb conjugation based on tense, person, number for simple, passive, progressive, and perfect forms. An example:

    RiConjugator rc = new RiConjugator(this);    
    rc.setNumber("plural");
    rc.setPerson("2nd");
    rc.setTense("past");      
    rc.setPassive(true);
    rc.setPerfect(true);
    rc.setProgressive(false);
    String c = rc.conjugate("announce");

Note: this implementation is based closely on rules found in the MorphG package, further described here:

Method Detail

getPresent

Processes the baseform of this Verb to obtain the present tense form for a specific Person and Number combination. The default behaviour is to assume that all present tense forms except for 3rd person singular are identical to the baseform. This is only every not the case with the verb be which has different forms for different person and number values (am, are etc).
