public class PersonalPronounH

extends FDH

implements PersonalPronoun

The personal-pronoun category. In general, a personal-pronoun is used as participants of processes. For a personal-pronoun, at the very least, user has to specify whether it is first, second or third person and also whether it is plural. User can also set the gender of the pronoun. The person and the gender of the pronoun can be set using the static constants provided in this class. For example, if user wants to set it to be first person, he/she can use setPerson(PersonalPronoun.FIRST) to achieve the task. There are methods to set the person, the plurality and the gender of the personal-pronoun. A factory method is also provided to serve the functionality of a constructor which user feeds in all the properties of the desired pronoun as parameters to the method. User can either use the PersonalPronounFactoryH class or directly use the constructor of this class to create instances of PersonalPronounH.
