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?
- 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.
The inf part of VPC is split into inf,inf2:Str to correct
hat ... wollen lesen => hat ... lesen wollen
wird ... wollen haben lesen => wird ... haben lesen wollen
(for: lesen wollen|gewollt haben)
Changed useVP and mkClause of ResGer and MkVPS of ExtraGer.
(ExtraGer.DisToCl needs to be adapted, but best by unification with mkClause.)
