Recognise different grammatical cases of the same citation

[Mkranj]

Description

Croatian

Authors can be reffered to in different cases in Croatian (padeži). For example, Cohen, Cohenu, Cohenom. Possesive forms also alter the words - Cohenov. These all refer to the same source.

English

Cohen's (1999) paper is the same as the one referenced by Cohen (1999).

Suggested feature

Recognise different word endings in citations. If two citations differ only in the last letter, keep only one. Same for citations ending in 's.

Example

Superov (1999) članak potaknuo je daljnju diskusiju. (...) Na kraju, nitko nije imao bolju ideju od Supera (1999).
With recognising case, the citation in the Excel file would be a single Super 1999.

Potential issues

• Which ones to keep? Have a hierarchy (nominativ, genitiv...) and keep the highest one.
• Could this potentially confuse authors whose surnames actually differs in the last letter?
  • Make this an optional feature.

Grammatical cases implemented:

• recognise Croatian cases
• recognise Croatian possesives
