Struct jmdict::Sense

pub struct Sense { /* fields omitted */ }

The translational equivalent of a Japanese word or phrase.

Where there are several distinctly different meanings of the word, its Entry will have multiple senses. Each particular translation is a Gloss, of which there may be multiple within a single sense.

For instance, the entry for 折角 contains one sense with the glosses “with trouble” and “at great pains”. Those glosses all represent the same meaning, so they appear in one sense. There is also a sense with the glosses “rare”, “precious”, “valuable” and “long-awaited”. Those glosses represent a different meaning from “with trouble” or “at great pains”, so they appear in a separate sense. (And in fact, 折角 has even more senses.)

Implementations

impl Sense

pub fn applicable_kanji_elements(&self) -> Strings

If not empty, this sense only applies to these KanjiElements out of all the KanjiElements in this Entry.

pub fn applicable_reading_elements(&self) -> Strings

If not empty, this sense only applies to these ReadingElements out of all the ReadingElements in this Entry.

pub fn parts_of_speech(&self) -> PartsOfSpeech

pub fn cross_references(&self) -> Strings

If not empty, contains the text of KanjiElements or ReadingElements of other Entries with a similar meaning or sense. In some cases, a KanjiElement’s text will be followed by a [Reading Element]’s text and/or a sense number to provide a precise target for the cross-reference. Where this happens, a katakana middle dot (・, U+30FB) is placed between the components of the cross-reference.

TODO: Provide a structured type for these kinds of references.

pub fn antonyms(&self) -> Strings

If not empty, contains the text of KanjiElements or ReadingElements of other Entries which are antonyms of this sense.

pub fn topics(&self) -> SenseTopics

pub fn infos(&self) -> SenseInfos

pub fn freetext_infos(&self) -> Strings

If not empty, contains additional information about this sence (e.g. level of currency or other nuances) that cannot be expressed by the other, more structured fields.

pub fn loanword_sources(&self) -> LoanwordSources

If not empty, contains source words in other languages from which this vocabulary has been borrowed in this sense.

pub fn dialects(&self) -> Dialects

If not empty, this Sense of the Entry only appears in the given Dialects of Japanese.
