NP.s : Bool => Case => Str and NP.w = WDefArt
np.s ! False : Case => Str is the ordinary paradigm; if the np has a
definite article, np.w = WDefArt, and np.s ! True : Case => Str is the
paradigm with definite article omitted, if np.a = Ag g Sg p.
Prepositions now have type
Prep = {s : GenNum => Str ; s2 :Str ; c : Case ; isPrep : PrepType},
and |Prep| = |Case|*|isPrep| = 4 * 3 = 12, independent of |PCase| >= 18.
A preposition p with p.isPrep = isPrepDefArt has in p.s ! (GSg g) : Str
the preposition glued with definite article of a following np in singular.
The modified linearization categories for Prep, NP, Det, DAP, Quant,
Predet are no longer Prep', NP' etc., but Prep, NP etc. in CatGer.
They are now also used in gf-rgl/tests/german/TestLangGer.gf.
The previous auxiliary files abstract/Adjective'.gf etc. are removed.
BUT: for complexitiy reasons,
- the glueing is omitted in SlashV2VNP : V2V -> NP -> VPSlash -> VPSlash,
- SlashVP : NP -> SlashVP -> ClSlash (in SentenceGer and TestLanGer)
are commented out.
SlashVP causes grammar compilation to crash due to memory limits, probably
because mkClause and its modification mkClSlash are too detailed.
are edited to allow for glued Prep+DefArt, using new categories NP',Det',Quant',
Predet',DAP'.
The previous NP.s : Case => Str*Str allows parsing
"in dem Meer" = in_Prep ++ (np.s ! Case).p1
"im Meer" = in_Prep ++ (np.s ! Case).p2,
but since only one of the strings of (np.s!Case) is used, the tree
contains a metavariable like ?2 (the grammar is "erasing"). (Similarly, if we used
NP.s : Case => Str and NP.s2 : Case => Str.)
To get rid of the metavariables, we have to choose BY A PARAMETER, say
NP.s : droppedDefArt? => Case => Str
Using np.a = Ag g n p, the preposition can select between preposition
alone or preposition with definite article (glued or not), via
Prep = {s : GenNum => Str ; s2 :Str ; c : Case ; isPrep : PrepType }
The combination is done in appPrepNP' and appPrep'. This is
independent of the number of glued Prep+DefArt. But LangGer compiles
now in 200s using 30% memory (without SlashV2VNP). Can AppPrepNP' (and
insertObjNP') be simplified?
