- removed Control and treat control verbs with VPSlash.objCtrl:Bool
- combined VP.inf and VP.infExt to VP.inf with inplace/extracted parts
depending on Agr, to subj/obj-control reflexives in infinitival complements
- AllGer compiles from src in 250s (SlashV2VNP!), .gfo loads in 15s on x86_64
- NP: added field isLight in order to push negation behind light nps;
this had been done in gf-3.9 using field isPron, but isPron is now
used to put accusative pronoun before dative pronoun. Removed field
adv: adverbial extensions cannot be extracted (todo: also for CN).
Reduced isLight*isPron to w:Weight with 3 values: WPron, WLight, WHeavy.
- added param Control and field ctrl:Control to classify V2V-verbs into
subject- and object-contol verbs, use ctrl to make reflexives agree
with subject resp. object in VPSlash, and refine ComplSlash.
- Verb: new versions of ComplVV, SlashV2V and SlashVV to give better
(nested) infinitives (extracting infzu and correcting object order).
a) nested SlashVV doesn't work properly;
b) SlashV2VNP may have to be commented out to prevent a stack overflow
when compiling.
Intended change of SlashV2VNP in tests/german/TestLangGer could not
be tested due to size problems with the compiler.
- VP: changed field a1 : Polarity => Str to a1:Str to collect the adverbs
coming before negation, using (negation : Polarity => Str) in mkClause.
Use objCtrl:Bool instead of missingAdv to let reflexives agree with object.
- ResGer: insertObjNP reorganized, infzuVP added
- DictVerbsGer: some corrections (helft -> hilft, *sprecht -> *spricht)
- Some potential passive rules in tests/german/TestLangGer|Eng
- ExtraGer needs to be cleaned up with repect to the modified mkClause.
ParadigmsGer had two constructions of verbs v:V3 with dat- and acc-object nps,
(1) mkV3 : V -> V3 = \v -> mkV3 v accPrep datPrep ;
(2) accdatV3 : V -> V3 = \v -> mkV3 v datPrep accPrep ; -- (no prepositions)
In a previous patch, I had replaced (accdatV3 v) to (mkV3 v accPrep datPrep), as the
name suggested. (This actually was the meaning of accdatV3 in gf-3.2, which had only
a non-overloaded mkV3 : V -> Prep -> Prep -> V3.)
The reason for having two constructions for dat+acc-verbs in Ger seems to be *Eng*:
for English, ditransitive V3-verbs are defined by
(2') mkV3 : V -> V3 = \v -> mkV3 v noPrep noPrep ;
like "to give sb sth", where the indirect argument comes first (c2=indir), the direct
second (c3=dir), corresponding to c2=datPrep, c3=accPrep in Ger; apparently, this was
meant by the comment (no prepositions) in (2). Other V3-verbs in Eng are defined by
(1') mkV3 : V -> Prep -> V3 = \v,p -> mkV3 v noPrep p ;
like "to give sth to sb", so that (c2=dir), (c3=indir-with preposition),
corresponding to c2=acc,c3=dat in Ger, i.e. (1).
In order to get trees with equal meaning in Ger and Eng, the direct and indirect
arguments of corresponding verbs must match. Therefore, some V3-verbs in Ger have to
be defined using (1), others using (2), although they syntactically behave similar.
This patch therefore reinstalls (1) and (2), and changes the V3 in LexiconGer to:
give_V3 = accdatV3 Irreg.geben_V ; -- c2=datPrep, c3=accPrep, to fit
-- to Eng ditransitive: give sb(indir) sth(dir) (no preposition)
sell_V3 = mkV3 (no_geV (regV "verkaufen")) ; -- Eng: mkV3 v noPrep toPrep
send_V3 = mkV3 (regV "schicken") ; -- Ger mkV3 v = Ger: mkV3 v accPrep datPrep
