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

53397db86a Latvian: CN and NP types are extended with a Bool field for tracking whether a relative clause has been used
This is used for inserting the closing comma if necessary, and later will be used also for adjusting the word order.

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.

5a71256fda Latvian: extensions to the verb paradigms
Added support for -ts/-ta participles (in addition to -is/-usi; other participles - on demand) and fixed some palatalization exceptions.

1817c7d168 Latvian: two important fixes regarding V2 clauses
Agreement with the focus part (the object) works not only for Pers3, but also for Pers1 and Pers2 NPs (if the verb requires non-typical subject/object valences).
Object-dependent double negation works (in addition to the subject-dependent double negation).
The first one is motivated by PhrasebookLav, the second one - by AttemptoLav.
Also a couple of minor fixes.

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.

3aa95e3fe9 More improvements to the Latvian resource grammar (motivated by PhrasebookLav)
- Few bug-fixes (agreement between Pron and ComplAP; C1 verb paradigm; how8much_IAdv / how8many_IDet).
- Differentiation between male and female pronouns.
- Irregular verbs now can have prefixes.
- Code refactoring.
