Type Parameters:

N - The node type in the AST

E - The expression type

T - The type type

B - The binding type

TB - The type binding type

S - The scope type (optional)

I - The type used to represent identifiers

QI - The type used to represent qualified identifiers

DefaultResolution

public interface Resolution<N,E,T,B,TB extends B,S,I,QI,R extends RelatedExpression<N,T,B,TB,S,QI,R>,A extends ASTBasedAnaphora<N,E,T,B,TB,S,I,QI,R,A>>

Used to represent (potential) resolutions of anaphors based on a cognitive model.

Anaphor resolution may require a preparatory AST transformation. Anaphor resolution eventually happens by obtaining an AST-based ASTBasedAnaphora relation that can be underspecified.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CheckResult<N,E,S>	getCheckResult()	The check result is obtained from the PreparatoryTransformation and can be used to actually perform the preparatory transformation.
A	getPreliminaryAnaphora()	The preliminary anaphora might be used to signal to users which anaphora relations are available, e.g.
PreparatoryTransformation<N,E,T,B,TB,S,I,QI,R,A>	getPreparatoryTransformation()

Method Details

getCheckResult

CheckResult<N,E,S> getCheckResult()

The check result is obtained from the PreparatoryTransformation and can be used to actually perform the preparatory transformation.

Returns:

a check result with CheckResult.canPerformTransformation() returning true.

See Also:

PreparatoryTransformation.canPerform(de.monochromata.anaphors.cog.memory.Chunk, Object, Object), PreparatoryTransformation.perform(CheckResult, ASTBasedAnaphora), getPreparatoryTransformation()

getPreparatoryTransformation

PreparatoryTransformation<N,E,T,B,TB,S,I,QI,R,A> getPreparatoryTransformation()

Returns:

a preparatory AST transformation that yields the AST-based ASTBasedAnaphora relation.

See Also:

getPreliminaryAnaphora(), PreparatoryTransformation.perform(CheckResult, ASTBasedAnaphora), getCheckResult()

getPreliminaryAnaphora

A getPreliminaryAnaphora()

The preliminary anaphora might be used to signal to users which anaphora relations are available, e.g. in case of referential ambiguity.

Returns:

a preliminary anaphora relation comparable to the one that could be re-resolved after the preparatory transformation has been applied.
