Attempting to answer my own question, which I should probably just try,
assuming I can doctor the indexed text ---I suppose I could do something like
change all instances or I, he, etc that refer to one person to IJBA HEJBA,
HIMJBA (making sure they would never equal a normal word) -- then use the
synonym feature to link IJBA, HEJBA, HIMJBA, Joe Book Author, J.B.Author
(although, even if this were a good approach) I don't know if you can link
synonyms for phrases as opposed to a single word. And of course this would
require a correlative translation mechanism at display time to render I, he,
him, instead of the indexed acronym.

Subject: Associating pronouns instances to proper nouns?
All,
I am working with very exact text and search over permament documents (books).
It would be great to associate pronouns like he, she, him, her, I, my, etc.
with the acutal author or person the pronoun refers to. I can see how I could
get pretty darn close with the synonym feature in Lucene. Unfortunately
though, as I understand it, this would associate all instances or I, he, she,
etc. instead of particular instances.
I have come up with a crude mechanism, adding the initials for the referred
person, immediately after the pronoun ... him{DGN}, but this of course
complicates word counts and potential prhase lookups, etc..... (which I could
probably live with and work around).
But after understanding how easy it is to add synonymns for any particular
word in a document, is there any standard practical way to add synonymns to a
particular word instance within a document? That would really do the trick?
Dave
