terminology

  Sometimes, I was being criticized for making up non-standard
  terminology. If there is a standard term for the following,
  then please tell me so:

  In

java.lang.Thread . dumpStack()
java.lang.System.out . print( 2 )

  I do call the source code part in front of the last dot a
  /context/.

  I do call the simple name between the last dot and the first
  parentheses a /verb/. (So a verb does never contain a dot.)

  (I do /not/ call this ?method name?, since I want to exclude
  texts with dots, like ?>java.lang.Thread.dumpStack?, which
  are also method names in Java AFAIK.)

  I do call the simple call after the last dot up to the last
  parentheses a /sentence/.

  (I do /not/ call this ?[method ]call?, since the whole lines
  including the dots are also called ?[method ]calls? or
  ?[method ]invocations? in Java.)

    context sentence
..------------------. .------------.
java.lang.Thread . dumpStack()
java.lang.System.out . print ( 2 )
                       '-------'
                         verb
'------------------------------'
  not a verb, because of dots
'-----------------------------------'
  not a sentence, because of dots

  Ok, ?context? /is/ a standard JLS term, but ?verb? is less
  so (although sometimes used in OOP, IIRC), and ?sentence?
  was invented by me, but seems natural, once one accepts ?verb?.

  However, if there are already standard Java terms for this,
  I'd gladly use them.
