120e616a28 Latvian: if ~object~ is a Pron and is not modified by a RCl, it is more natural/neutral if it precedes the verb. For this, the lin types of NP and Adv are extended with a boolean field isPron (in addition to the previously introduced isRel field that indicates whether a CN or NP is modified by a RCl). 2013-12-16 19:08:38 +00:00

9f5c805ab5 Latvian: an optimized NP linearization type => fixed the double negation support in VPS
The flag indicating whether a NP has a negated determiner is now encapsulated in the algebraic parameter Agr, removing the extra field in the NP linearization type.

6f4befae68 Latvian: finally handles PassV2 clauses in a more or less adequate way
Extends the previously introduced support for specifying the verb valence (verb-dependent subject and object cases), involving functions up to PredVP and RelVP.

In Latvian, the passive voice is not used if the agent (subject) is known; to preserve the information structure (i.e. the word order), a clause like 'A is <done> by B' is linearized in the active voice ('A <does> B') where A has the object case (e.g. Acc), and B - the subject case (e.g. Nom). Thus, the verb valence patterns are swapped on-the-fly.

This is still a rather quick & dirty implementation: parameters and linearization types have to be optimized (VerbLav), the use of PassV2 in AdvVP is problematic as it doesn't apply VPSlashPrep / ComplSlash, etc.

21e61f4516 Latvian: added support for double negation, fixed some structural words
Double negation: sebject-dependent - works, object-dependent - still has to be fixed (in VerbsLav).
Structural words: everybody, somebody, nobody.
Both motivated by AttemptoLav.

d217f20c60 A major update to the Latvian resource grammar
The case of the topic part of a clause (~subject) can now depend on the verb, allowing for less frequent agreement.
E.g. "man[Dat] garšo pica[Nom]" ("I like pizza").
The default case for the topic/subject remains the nominative case.
