Properties  

isPluralparser.t[1481]

Is this pronoun a singular or a plural? A pronoun like "it" or "he" is singular, because it refers to a single antecedent; "them" is plural. Language modules that define their own custom pronoun subclasses should override this as needed.

isPossessiveparser.t[1473]
is this a possessive usage?

pronounTypeparser.t[1470]
our pronoun specifier - this must be set in each rule instance to one of the PronounXxx constants to specify which pronoun to use when resolving the pronoun phrase

Methods  

checkAnaphoricBinding (resolver, results)parser.t[1492]

Check for an anaphoric binding. Returns a list (which is allowed to be empty) if this can refer back to an earlier noun phrase in the same command, nil if not. By default, we consider pronouns to be non-anaphoric, meaning they refer to something from a previous sentence, not something in this same sentence. In most languages, pronouns don't refer to objects in other noun phrases within the same predicate unless they're reflexive.
