| #[+label('tag') class] Token
p.
A Token represents a single word, punctuation or significant whitespace
symbol. Integer IDs are provided for all string features. The (unicode)
string is provided by an attribute of the same name followed by an underscore,
e.g. #[code token.orth] is an integer ID, #[code token.orth_] is the unicode
value. The only exception is the #[code token.text] attribute, which is (unicode)
string-typed.

| String Features
+table(['Name', 'Description'], 'params')
+row
+cell lemma / lemma_
+cell.
The "base" of the word, with no inflectional suffixes, e.g.
the lemma of "developing" is "develop", the lemma of "geese"
is "goose", etc. Note that #[em derivational] suffixes are
not stripped, e.g. the lemma of "instutitions" is "institution",
not "institute". Lemmatization is performed using the WordNet
data, but extended to also cover closed-class words such as
pronouns. By default, the WN lemmatizer returns "hi" as the
lemma of "his". We assign pronouns the lemma #[code -PRON-].
+row
+cell orth / orth_
+cell.
The form of the word with no string normalization or processing,
as it appears in the string, without trailing whitespace.
+row
+cell lower / lower_
+cell.
The form of the word, but forced to lower-case, i.e.
#[code lower = word.orth_.lower()]
+row
+cell shape / shape_
+cell.
A transform of the word's string, to show orthographic features.
The characters a-z are mapped to x, A-Z is mapped to X, 0-9
is mapped to d. After these mappings, sequences of 4 or more
of the same character are truncated to length 4. Examples:
C3Po --> XdXx, favorite --> xxxx, :) --> :)
+row
+cell prefix / prefix_
+cell.
A length-N substring from the start of the word. Length may
vary by language; currently for English n=1, i.e.
#[code prefix = word.orth_[:1]]
+row
+cell suffix / suffix_
+cell.
A length-N substring from the end of the word. Length may
vary by language; currently for English n=3, i.e.
#[code suffix = word.orth_[-3:]]

Equivalent to #[code word.orth_.isspace()]
+row
+cell like_url
+cell.
Does the word resemble a URL?
+row
+cell like_num
+cell.
Does the word represent a number? e.g. “10.9”, “10”, “ten”, etc.
+row
+cell like_email
+cell.
Does the word resemble an email?
+row
+cell is_oov
+cell.
Is the word out-of-vocabulary?
+row
+cell is_stop
+cell.
Is the word part of a "stop list"? Stop lists are used to
improve the quality of topic models, by filtering out common,
domain-general words.
+section('token-distributional')
+h3('token-distributional')
| Distributional Features
+table(['Name', 'Description'], 'params')
+row
+cell prob
+cell.
The unigram log-probability of the word, estimated from
counts from a large corpus, smoothed using Simple Good Turing
estimation.
+row
+cell cluster
+cell.
The Brown cluster ID of the word. These are often useful features
for linear models. If youre using a non-linear model, particularly
a neural net or random forest, consider using the real-valued
word representation vector, in #[code Token.repvec], instead.
+row
+cell vector
+cell.
A "word embedding" representation: a dense real-valued vector
that supports similarity queries between words. By default,
spaCy currently loads vectors produced by the Levy and
Goldberg (2014) dependency-based word2vec model.
+row
+cell has_vector
+cell.
A boolean value indicating whether a vector.

Start index of the token in the string
+row
+cell len(token)
+cell.
Length of the token's orth string, in unicode code-points.
+row
+cell unicode(token)
+cell.
Same as #[code token.orth_].
+row
+cell str(token)
+cell.
In Python 3, returns #[code token.orth_]. In Python 2, returns
#[code token.orth_.encode('utf8')].
+row
+cell text
+cell.
An alias for #[code token.orth_].
+row
+cell text_with_ws
+cell.
#[code token.orth_ + token.whitespace_], i.e. the form of the
word as it appears in the string, trailing whitespace. This is
useful when you need to use linguistic features to add inline
mark-up to the string.
+row
+cell whitespace_
+cell.
The number of immediate syntactic children following the word
in the string.
+section('token-postags')
+h3('token-postags')
| Part-of-Speech Tags
+table(['Name', 'Description'], 'params')
+row
+cell pos / pos_
+cell.
A coarse-grained, less detailed tag that represents the
word-class of the token. The set of #[code .pos] tags are
consistent across languages. The available tags are #[code ADJ],
#[code ADP], #[code ADV], #[code AUX], #[code CONJ], #[code DET],
#[code INTJ], #[code NOUN], #[code NUM], #[code PART],
#[code PRON], #[code PROPN], #[code PUNCT], #[code SCONJ],
#[code SYM], #[code VERB], #[code X], #[code EOL], #[code SPACE].
+row
+cell tag / tag_
+cell.
A fine-grained, more detailed tag that represents the
word-class and some basic morphological information for the
token. These tags are primarily designed to be good features
for subsequent models, particularly the syntactic parser.
They are language and treebank dependent. The tagger is
trained to predict these fine-grained tags, and then a
mapping table is used to reduce them to the coarse-grained
#[code .pos] tags.

+table(['Name', 'Description'], 'params')
+row
+cell head
+cell.

root of its sentence, it is the token itself, i.e.
#[code root_token.head is root_token].
+row
+cell children
+cell.

+row
+cell subtree
+cell.
