public class NPH

extends FDH

implements NP

The NP category for a FD. Methods are provided to set the head and the lex of the noun phrase. Users should only set either the head or the lexical entry for each noun phrase, it does not make sense to set both of them at the same time. This class implements the NP interface and is implemented in the form of a HashMap as it is inherrited from the FDH class. This class consists of methods and constructors to set the required components of a NP. User can either use the NPFactoryH class or directly use the constructor of this class to create instances of NPH.
