+"""Complex word detection for readability metrics with NLP enhancement.
+
+This module implements complex word detection for the Gunning Fog Index,
+addressing the issues raised in GitHub PR #4:
+https://github.com/craigtrim/pystylometry/pull/4
+
+Background:
+-----------
+The Gunning Fog Index (Gunning, 1952) defines complex words as:
+    Words with 3+ syllables, EXCLUDING:
+    1. Proper nouns (names, places, organizations)
+    2. Compound words (hyphenated)
+    3. Common verb forms (-es, -ed, -ing endings)
+
+Reference:
+    Gunning, R. (1952). The Technique of Clear Writing.
+    McGraw-Hill, New York.
+
+Issues Addressed from PR #4:
+-----------------------------
+Issue #1: Complex Word Detection Heuristics Are Unreliable
+    - OLD: Capitalization heuristic for proper nouns (fails on acronyms, all-caps)
+    - NEW: spaCy POS tagging (PROPN tag) for accurate proper noun detection
+
+    - OLD: Regex-based suffix stripping (-es, -ed, -ing only)
+    - NEW: spaCy lemmatization for true morphological analysis
+
+Issue #3: Hyphenated Words Blanket Exclusion
+    - OLD: ALL hyphenated words excluded regardless of complexity
+    - NEW: Split hyphenated words and analyze each component
+           e.g., "well-known" (1+1) → not complex
+                 "self-education" (1+4) → complex
+
+Dual-Mode Design:
+-----------------
+**Enhanced Mode** (when spaCy available):
+    - Uses Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging for proper noun detection
+    - Uses lemmatization for morphological analysis
+    - More accurate, handles edge cases (acronyms, irregular verbs)
+
+**Basic Mode** (fallback when spaCy unavailable):
+    - Uses capitalization heuristic for proper nouns
+    - Uses simple suffix stripping for inflections
+    - Less accurate but requires no external dependencies
+
+This dual-mode approach maintains backward compatibility while providing
+enhanced accuracy when optional dependencies are available.

+    Determine if a word is complex according to Gunning Fog criteria.
+
+    Implementation of Gunning's (1952) complex word definition with
+    NLP enhancements to address PR #4 issues.
+
+    Gunning's Original Criteria:
+    -----------------------------
+    A word is complex if it has 3+ syllables AND is not:
+    1. A proper noun (names, places, organizations)
+    2. A compound word (hyphenated)
+    3. A common verb form ending in -es, -ed, or -ing
+
+    Reference:
+        Gunning, R. (1952). The Technique of Clear Writing. McGraw-Hill.
+        Pages 38-39: "Words of three or more syllables are hard words"
+
+    Enhancement Rationale (PR #4):
+    -------------------------------
+    **Issue #1 - Proper Noun Detection:**
+
+    OLD METHOD (Capitalization Heuristic):
+        - if word[0].isupper() and not is_sentence_start: return False
+        - FAILS on: "NASA" (all-caps), "iPhone" (mixed case), "O'Brien" (apostrophe)
+        - FALSE POSITIVES: Excludes acronyms that ARE complex
+
+    NEW METHOD (POS Tagging):
+        - Uses spaCy's PROPN (proper noun) POS tag
+        - ACCURATE: Correctly identifies proper nouns via linguistic analysis
+        - HANDLES: "NASA", "iPhone", "O'Brien", "McDonald's", etc.
+
+    **Issue #1 - Inflection Handling:**
+
+    OLD METHOD (Suffix Stripping):
+        - Strip -es/-ed/-ing, recount syllables
+        - FAILS on: "being" (strips to "be" incorrectly)
+        - INCOMPLETE: Misses -s, -ly, -er, -est, -tion, -ness, etc.
+
+    NEW METHOD (Lemmatization):
+        - Uses spaCy's lemmatizer for true morphological analysis
+        - ACCURATE: "companies" → "company", "running" → "run"
+        - COMPLETE: Handles all inflections, irregular forms
+
+    **Issue #3 - Hyphenated Words:**
+
+    OLD METHOD (Blanket Exclusion):
+        - if "-" in word: return False
+        - PROBLEM: "re-establishment" (5 syllables) excluded
+
+    NEW METHOD (Component Analysis):
+        - Split on hyphens, check each component
+        - ACCURATE: "well-known" (1+1) → not complex
+                   "self-education" (1+4) → complex
+
+    Args:
+        word: The word to check
+        syllable_count: Number of syllables in the word
+        use_spacy: Whether to use spaCy features if available
+        pos: Part-of-speech tag from spaCy (e.g., "PROPN", "VERB", "ADJ")
+        lemma: Lemmatized form from spaCy (e.g., "running" → "run")
+        is_sentence_start: Whether word appears at start of sentence
+                          (affects capitalization heuristic in basic mode)
+
+    Returns:
+        True if word is considered complex, False otherwise
+
+    Example:

+    "Do not count compound words"
+
+    This means ALL hyphenated words should be excluded from the complex
+    word count, regardless of syllable count in individual components.
+
+    Rationale:
+    ----------
+    Gunning's rule was simple and unqualified: compound words (hyphenated)
+    are not counted as complex, even if they contain 3+ syllables.
+
+    Examples:
+        - "well-known" (2 syllables) → not complex (excluded)
+        - "twenty-first-century" (6 syllables) → not complex (excluded)
+        - "re-establishment" (5 syllables) → not complex (excluded)

+
+    Limitations of This Heuristic:
+    -------------------------------
+    1. INCOMPLETE: Only handles 3 common suffixes
+       - Misses: -s, -ly, -er, -est, -tion, -ness, -ful, -able, etc.
+
+    2. INCORRECT STRIPPING:
+       - "being" → "be" (incorrect, should be "be")
+       - "seeing" → "se" (incorrect, should be "see")
+
+    3. NO LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS:
+       - Doesn't handle irregular forms: "ran" → "run", "was" → "be"
+       - Doesn't recognize that "companies" → "company" (both 3 syllables)

+    For accurate inflection handling, use spaCy lemmatization (enhanced mode).

         FleschResult with reading ease, grade level, and difficulty rating
 
+        Note: The difficulty label ("Very Easy", "Easy", etc.) is determined solely
+        from the reading_ease score and does NOT consider the grade_level score.
+        This means text with high reading_ease (e.g., 85 = "Easy") but high
+        grade_level (e.g., 12 = college) will still be labeled "Easy". The two

+
+        Note: For empty input (no sentences or words), reading_ease and grade_level
+        will be float('nan'). This prevents conflating "no data" with "extremely
+        difficult text" (score of 0). Consumers should check for NaN before
+        performing arithmetic operations (e.g., using math.isnan() or filtering
+        before aggregation) to avoid silent propagation of NaN in statistics.
