=head1 NAME

Treex::Core::Phrase::NTerm

=head1 VERSION

version 2.20160630

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Treex::Core::Document;
  use Treex::Core::Phrase::Term;
  use Treex::Core::Phrase::NTerm;

  my $document = new Treex::Core::Document;
  my $bundle   = $document->create_bundle();
  my $zone     = $bundle->create_zone('en');
  my $root     = $zone->create_atree();
  my $node     = $root->create_child();
  my $tphrase  = new Treex::Core::Phrase::Term ('node' => $node);
  my $ntphrase = new Treex::Core::Phrase::NTerm ('head' => $tphrase);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<NTerm> is a nonterminal C<Phrase>. It contains (refers to) one or more child
C<Phrase>s.
See L<Treex::Core::Phrase> for more details.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=over

=item head

A sub-C<Phrase> of this phrase that is at the moment considered the head phrase (in the sense of dependency syntax).
Head is a special case of child (sub-) phrase. The (one) head must always exist; other children are optional.

=back

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item set_head ($child_phrase);

Sets a new head child for this phrase. The new head must be already a child
of this phrase. The old head will become an ordinary non-head child.

=item replace_core_child ($old_head, $new_head);

Replaces the head by another phrase. This is used when we want to transform
the head to a different class of phrases. The replacement must not have a
parent yet.

=item as_string

Returns a textual representation of the phrase and all subphrases. Useful for
debugging.

=back
