    // ends in a separator, it returns information representing beginning-of-sentence).
    // Example (when Constants.MAX_PREV_WORD_COUNT_FOR_N_GRAM is 2):
    // (n = 1) "abc def|" -> abc, def
    // (n = 1) "abc def |" -> abc, def

    // represent this situation using NgramContext. See TODO in the method.
    // TODO: The next example's result should be "abc, def". This have to be fixed before we
    // retrieve the prior context of Beginning-of-Sentence.
