Hello. Suppose I have such chunk of a sentence:
(NP
(NP (DT A) (JJ single) (NN page))
(PP (IN in)
(NP (DT a) (NN wiki) (NN website))))
At a certain moment of time I have a reference to (JJ single)
and I want to get the NP
node binding A single page
. If I get it right, that NP
is the parent of the node, A
and page
are its siblings and it has no children (?). When I try to use the .parent()
method of a tree, I always get null. The API says that's because the implementation doesn't know how to determine the parent node. Another method of interest is .ancestor(int height, Tree root)
, but I don't know how to get the root of the node. In both cases, since the parser knows how to indent and group trees, it must know the "parent" tree, right? How can I get it? Thanks
