Class ModLabel

java.lang.Object
  edu.upenn.cis.propbank_shen.ModLabel

public final class ModLabel
extends Object

A class emulating an enumeration of labels representing "modifiers" in the propbank. Even though there is obviously a vast amount of overlap between the denotation of the labels, a single modifier is chosen as the appropriate annotation if it is deemed "the most" appropriate. I don't think this distinction is at all well defined, but it is common practice in this field and what the linguists want.

• EXT extent
