NAME

Text::Info::Sentence - An object-oriented representation of a sentence.

DESCRIPTION

You should never instantiate objects of this class directly, but instead use Text::Info to create a general text object and retrieve the Text::Info::Sentence objects from that with its sentences() method.

METHODS

words()

Returns an array reference containing the sentence's words. This method is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

word_count()

Returns the number of words in the sentence. This is a helper method and is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

avg_word_length()

Returns the average length of the words in the sentence. This is a helper method and is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

ngrams( $size )

Returns an array reference containing the sentence's ngrams of size $size. Default size is 2 (i.e. bigrams). This method is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

unigrams()

Returns an array reference containing the sentence's unigrams, i.e. the same as ngrams(1). This is a helper method and is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

bigrams()

Returns an array reference containing the sentence's bigrams, i.e. the same as ngrams(2). This is a helper method and is derived from Text::Info::BASE.

trigrams()

Returns an array reference containing the sentence's trigrams, i.e. the same as ngrams(3). This is a helper method and is derived from Text::Info::BASE.
