For a given constituent we perform * <p/> * for categoryList in categoryLists * for index = 1 to n [or n to 1 if R->L] * for category in categoryList * if category equals daughter[index] choose it. * <p/> * with a final default that goes with the direction (L->R or R->L) * For most constituents, there will be only one category in the list, * the exception being, in Collins' original version, NP. * <p/> * It is up to the overriding base class to initialize the map * from constituent type to categoryLists, "nonTerminalInfo", * in its constructor. * Entries are presumed to be of type String[][]. Each String[] is a list of * categories, except for the first entry, which specifies direction of * traversal and must be one of "right", "left" or "rightdis" or "leftdis". * <p/> * "left" means search left-to-right by category and then by position * "leftdis" means search left-to-right by position and then by category * "right" means search right-to-left by category and then by position * "rightdis" means search right-to-left by position and then by category * "leftexcept" means to take the first thing from the left that isn't in the list * "rightexcept" means to take the first thing from the right that isn't on the list * <p/> * <p/> * 2002/10/28 -- Category label identity checking now uses the * equals() method instead of ==, so not interning category labels * shouldn't break things anymore.
