public class CommonH

extends FDH

implements Common

The Common category for a FD. Methods to set the lex and the head of the common category are provided. There are a lot of variations you can make to the noun such as setting it to be definite, plural... Since there are too many options and they are not common, methods are not provided to set those properties. And setLex() will be the only required/automate method provided here. This is the class that implements the Common interface and is implemented in the form of a HashMap as it is inherrited from the FDH class. This class consists of methods and constructors to set the required components of a CommonH. User can either use the CommonFactoryH class or directly use the constructor of this class to create instances of CommonH.
