Class MissingVerbRule

java.lang.Object

org.languagetool.rules.Rule

org.languagetool.rules.de.MissingVerbRule

public class MissingVerbRule
extends Rule

Checks that a sentence contains at least one verb. Ignores very short sentences. Note that this is off by default, as there are quite some "sentences" without a verb, e.g. "Nix für ungut!", "Bis nächste Woche.", "Nicht schon wieder!", "Und deine Schwester?", "Wie dumm von mir!", and book references like "Andreas Fecker: Fluglotsen."

Since:

2.7

Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from class: Rule

A string used to identify the rule in e.g. configuration files. This string is supposed to be unique and to stay the same in all upcoming versions of LanguageTool. It's supposed to contain only the characters A-Z and the underscore.

match

public RuleMatch[] match(AnalyzedSentence sentence)
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: Rule

Check whether the given sentence matches this error rule, i.e. whether it contains the error detected by this rule. Note that the order in which this method is called is not always guaranteed, i.e. the sentence order in the text may be different from the order in which you get the sentences (this may be the case when LanguageTool is used as a LibreOffice/OpenOffice add-on, for example). In other words, implementations must be stateless, so that a previous call to this method has no influence on later calls.

Specified by:

match in class Rule

Parameters:

sentence - a pre-analyzed sentence

Returns:

an array of RuleMatch objects

Throws:

IOException
