Flag diacritics
We have manually optimised the structure of our lexicon using following flag diacritics to restrict morhpological combinatorics - only allow compounds with verbs if the verb is further derived into a noun again:
| Flag | Explanation |
|---|---|
| @P.NeedNoun.ON@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
| @D.NeedNoun.ON@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
| @C.NeedNoun@ | (Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised |
For languages that allow compounding, the following flag diacritics are needed to control position-based compounding restrictions for nominals. Their use is handled automatically if combined with +CmpN/xxx tags. If not used, they will do no harm.
| Flag | Explanation |
|---|---|
| @P.CmpFrst.FALSE@ | Require that words tagged as such only appear first |
| @D.CmpPref.TRUE@ | Block such words from entering ENDLEX |
| @P.CmpPref.FALSE@ | Block these words from making further compounds |
| @D.CmpLast.TRUE@ | Block such words from entering R |
| @D.CmpSuff.TRUE@ | Block such words from entering R |
| @P.CmpSuff.TRUE@ | Mark that we have passed R |
| @D.CmpNone.TRUE@ | Combines with the next tag to prohibit compounding |
| @U.CmpNone.FALSE@ | Combines with the prev tag to prohibit compounding |
| @P.CmpOnly.TRUE@ | Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R |
| @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ | Disallow words coming directly from root. |
Use the following flag diacritics to control downcasing of derived proper nouns (e.g. Finnish Pariisi -> pariisilainen). See e.g. North Sámi for how to use these flags. There exists a ready-made regex that will do the actual down-casing given the proper use of these flags.
| Flag | Explanation |
|---|---|
| @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. |
| @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. |
