Split {Japanese, English} text into sentences.
This library split next text into 3 sentences.
We are talking about pens.
He said "This is a pen. I like it".
I could relate to that statement.
Result is:
You can check actual AST in online playground.
Second sentence includes "This is a pen. I like it"
, but this library can not split it into new sentence.
The reason is "..."
and 「...」
text is ambiguous as a sentence or a proper noun.
Also, HTML does not have suitable semantics for conversation.
As a result, The second line will be one sentence, but sentence-splitter add a contexts
info to the sentence node.
{
"type": "Sentence",
"children": [
{
"type": "Str",
"value": "He said \"This is a pen. I like it\""
},
...
],
"contexts": [
{
"type": "PairMark",
"pairMark": {
"key": "double quote",
"start": "\"",
"end": "\""
},
"range": [
8,
33
],
...
]
]
}
- Example: https://sentence-splitter.netlify.app/#He%20said%20%22This%20is%20a%20pen.%20I%20like%20it%22.
Probably, textlint rule should handle the "..."
and 「...」
text after parsing sentences by sentence-splitter.

Get these SentenceSplitterSyntax
constants value from the module:
import { SentenceSplitterSyntax } from "sentence-splitter";
console.log(SentenceSplitterSyntax.Sentence);// "Sentence"
export type SentencePairMarkContext = {
type: "PairMark";
range: readonly [startIndex: number, endIndex: number];
loc: {
start: {
line: number;
column: number;

end: {
line: number;
column: number;

export type TxtSentenceNode = Omit<TxtParentNode, "type"> & {
readonly type: "Sentence";
readonly contexts?: TxtPairMarkNode[];
};
export type TxtWhiteSpaceNode = Omit<TxtTextNode, "type"> & {
readonly type: "WhiteSpace";
};
export type TxtPunctuationNode = Omit<TxtTextNode, "type"> & {
readonly type: "Punctuation";
};

- Example: https://sentence-splitter.netlify.app/#This%20is%201st%20sentence.%20This%20is%202nd%20sentence.
This is 1st sentence. This is 2nd sentence.
<Sentence>
<Str /> |This is 1st sentence|
<Punctuation /> |.|
</Sentence>
<WhiteSpace /> | |
<Sentence>
<Str /> |This is 2nd sentence|
<Punctuation /> |.|
</Sentence>
Note: This library will not split Str
into Str
and WhiteSpace
(tokenize)
Because, Tokenize need to implement language specific context.
You can use splitAST
for textlint rule.
splitAST
function can preserve original AST's position unlike split
function.
import { splitAST, SentenceSplitterSyntax } from "sentence-splitter";
export default function(context, options = {}) {
const { Syntax, RuleError, report, getSource } = context;
return {
[Syntax.Paragraph](node) {
const parsedNode = splitAST(node);
const sentenceNodes = parsedNode.children.filter(childNode => childNode.type === SentenceSplitterSyntax.Sentence);
console.log(sentenceNodes); // => Sentence nodes
}
}
}
Examples
This library use "Golden Rule" test of pragmatic_segmenter
for testing.
