All Implemented Interfaces:

PointerTarget

public class Word

extends java.lang.Object

implements PointerTarget

A Word represents the lexical information related to a specific sense of an IndexWord. Word's are linked by Pointers into a network of lexically related words. getTarget retrieves the targets of these links, and getPointer retrieves the pointers themselves.
