Error report for improving the cg2visl.pl script


First of all: Good work, Saara!

Then: comments to things to improve:


- Coordination
==============
S:n('juolgi',pl,nom)    Juolggit
CO:conj-s('ja') ja
S:n('giehta',pl,nom)    gieđat
P:v('leat',IV,ind,pr,3pl)       leat
=H:v('seargat',IV,pcp2) seargan
.

Coordination structures should be collected into one phrase, of type X:par (not X:g), like this:

S:par
=CJT:n('juolgi',pl,nom)    Juolggit
=CO:conj-s('ja') ja
=CJT:n('giehta',pl,nom)    gieđat
Pg
=D:v('leat',IV,ind,pr,3pl)       leat
=H:v('seargat',IV,pcp2) seargan
.

Rule:
For a constituent CO, identify the identical constituents X before and after it, and make a par group X:par.







- Discontinuous constituents:
=============================

Trond: More text here!!

SOURCE: text
SME42 In monge háliidivčče.
A1
P:g
=D:vaux:v('ii',IV,neg,ind,1sg)  In
S:pron('mun',<pers>,1sg,nom,foc/ge)     monge
=H:v('háliidit',TV,cond,pr,conneg)      háliidivčče
.


- P:v as a group
In several cases we have this pattern:

S:n('ruhta',pl,nom)     Ruđat
P:v('leat',IV,ind,pr,3pl)       leat
=H:v('nohkat',IV,pcp2)  nohkan

P:v('leat',IV,cond,pr,1sg)      livččen
=H:v('boahtit',IV,pcp2) boahtán
.

Target, in each case, is:

P:g
=D:v('leat',IV,cond,pr,1sg)      livččen
=H:v('boahtit',IV,pcp2) boahtán
.

So, the quasicode is:
In a structure
P:v
=H:v
expand to
P:g
=D:v
=H:v

or, more general
A:x
=H:y
.
assume that A is the group and go for
A:g
=D:x
=H:y

This seems to be a problem with head-final phrases:

A1
A1
=D:pron('mun',<pers>,1sg,gen)   Mu
=D:adj('ođas',attr)     ođđa
S:n('ustit',sg,nom)     ustit
P:v('boahtit',IV,ind,pr,3sg)    boahtá
.

Here, we want the head of the phrase to be picked up by the group:

A1
S:g
=D:pron('mun',<pers>,1sg,gen)   Mu
=D:adj('ođas',attr)     ođđa
=H:n('ustit',sg,nom)     ustit
P:v('boahtit',IV,ind,pr,3sg)    boahtá
.




Sentence-initial =D-s
=====================

Since they are sentence-initial, their H comes to the right.
Thus, the following structures 
A1
:g
=D:pron('buot',<idef>)  Buot
S:n('oahppi',pl,nom)    oahppit
P:v('leat',IV,ind,pr,3pl)       leat
=H:v('mannat',IV,pcp2)  mannan

A1
:g
=D:pron('juohke',<idef>)        Juohke
S:n('loddi',sg,nom)     loddi

A1
=D:pron('mun',<pers>,1sg,gen)   Mu
=D:adj('boaris',sup,attr)       boarráseamos
S:n('viellja',sg,nom)   viellja

may safely be made into

S:g
=D:pron('buot',<idef>)  Buot
=H:n('oahppi',pl,nom)    oahppit
P:v('leat',IV,ind,pr,3pl)       leat
=H:v('mannat',IV,pcp2)  mannan

A1
S:g
=D:pron('juohke',<idef>)        Juohke
=H:n('loddi',sg,nom)     loddi

A1
S:g
=D:pron('mun',<pers>,1sg,gen)   Mu
=D:adj('boaris',sup,attr)       boarráseamos
=H:n('viellja',sg,nom)   viellja

BOS and chain of =D:
Take the first non-=D constituent and make into head of the :g

today
:g
=D:n Pekan    Det @N>
=D:adj vanha  Adj @N>
S:n kaveri    @SUBJ
on
tullut

S:g
=D:n Pekan    @DN>
=D:adj vanha  @AN>
=H:n kaveri    @SUBJ

Finding the head of preposition and postposition
@ADVL     tänään
@GP>      ilman
@ADVL     maitoa

@ADVL     maidon
@GP<      takia
@ADVL     tänään



A:g
=D:n
=H:po
A:adv

A:adv
A:g
=D:n
=H:po



Neutralised homonymy
====================
Words are represented twice when there are several homonym analyses. But in several cases these are neutralised during cg2visl, e.g.

SOURCE: text
SME85 Orun stuora stuora vilges vilges viesus.
A1
P:v('orrut',IV,ind,pr,1sg)      Orun
=D:adj('stuoris',attr)  stuora
=D:adj('stuoris',attr)  stuora
=D:adj('vielgat',attr)  vilges
=D:adj('vielgat',attr)  vilges
A:n('viessu',sg,loc)    viesus
.

In those cases, the resulting structure may be uniq-ed.
