Compounding tags

The tags are of the following form:

• +CmpNP/xxx - Normative (N), Position (P), ie. the tag describes what position the tagged word can be in in a compound
• +CmpN/xxx - Normative (N) form ie. the tag describes what form the tagged word should use when making compounds
• +Cmp/xxx - Descriptive compounding tags, ie. tags thatdescribes what form a word actually is using in a compound

Normative/prescriptive compounding tags: (to govern compound behaviour for the speller, ie. what a compound SHOULD BE)

The first part of the component may be ..

• +CmpN/Sg = Singular
• +CmpN/SgN = Singular Nominative
• +CmpN/SgG = Singular Genitive

• +CmpN/PlG = Plural Genitive

• +CmpNP/All - … be in all positions, default, this tag does not have to be written
• +CmpNP/First - … only be first part in a compound or alone
• +CmpNP/Pref - … only first part in a compound, NEVER alone
• +CmpNP/Last - … only be last part in a compound or alone
• +CmpNP/Suff - … only last part in a compound, NEVER alone
• +CmpNP/None - … not take part in compounds

• +CmpNP/Only - … only be part of a compound, i.e. can never be used alone, but can appear in any position

• +CmpN/SgLeft Singular to the left
• +CmpN/SgNomLeft Singular nominative to the left
• +CmpN/SgGenLeft Singular genitive to the left

• +CmpN/PlGenLeft Plural genitive to the left

• +Cmp/Sg Singular
• +Cmp/SgNom Singular Nominative
• +Cmp/SgGen Singular Genitive
• +Cmp/PlGen Plural Genitiv
• +Cmp/PlNom Plural Nominative
• +Cmp/Attr Attribute
• +Cmp Dynamic compound - this tag should always be part of a dynamic compound. It is important for Apertium, and useful in other cases as well.
• +Cmp/SplitR This is a split compound with the other part to the right: “Arbeids- og inkluderingsdepartementet” => Arbeids- = +Cmp/SplitR
• +Cmp/SplitL This is a split compound with the other part to the left
• +Cmp/Sh testing ShCmp

Punctuation tags

• +CLB Clause boundary
• +PUNCT Punctuation
• +LEFT

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: | @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. | @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.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. | @U.Cap.Obl@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj. | @U.Cap.Opt@ | Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.

Key lexicon

Lexicon Root starts the analyser and directs paths to all POS.

Lexicon ENDLEX

And this is the ENDLEX of everything:

@D.CmpOnly.FALSE@@D.CmpPref.TRUE@@D.NeedNoun.ON@ # ; 

The @D.CmpOnly.FALSE@ flag diacritic is ued to disallow words tagged with +CmpNP/Only to end here. The @D.NeedNoun.ON@ flag diacritic is used to block illegal compounds.
