http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18410 [PATCH] GermanAnalyzer problems with upper/lower case ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-03-30 14:16 ------- Otis, the problem with uppercase is that any word at the beginning of a sentence starts with an uppercase character (just like in English). So unless you've got a sophisticated sentence boundary detection you cannot conclude that a word is a noun just because it starts with an uppercase character. Comment #2 had an example: "ähnelt" (a verb) vs. "Ähnelt" (the same verb, but appearing at the beginning of a sentence -- which is okay). I didn't have a closer look at the Snowball stemmers, so I cannot comment on that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
