Derivation tags

The derivation position tags.

The tag +Der

All non-positional derivations should be preceded by this tag, to make it possible to target regular expressions at all derivations in a language-independent way: just specify +Der|+Der1 .. +Der5 and you are set.

• +Der is the tag to put before the other der tags.

Compound tags

These tags describe the parts of the compound.

The prefix (before “/”) is Cmp.

• +Cmp/Hyph compounds where first part ends in -
• +Cmp/SgNom compounds where first part is Sg Nom
• +Cmp/PlNom compounds where first part is Pl Nom
• +Cmp/Attr compounds where first part is Attr
• +Cmp/SgGen compounds where first part is Sg Gen
• +Cmp/PlGen compounds where first part is Pl Gen
• +Cmp/SplitR compounds where first part is a split compound hmm
• +Cmp/Sh compounds where first part is a short form
• +Cmp This tag to mark there is a compound. It comes after the Cmp/xxx tag.

These tags govern the parts of the compound

The prefix (before “/”) is CmpNP: (meaning: this is the normative position of thus tag)

• +CmpNP/All - … 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 - … does 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

The prefix (before “/”) is CmpN: (meaning: this is the normative position of thus tag) The tagged part of the compound should make a compound using:

• +CmpN/SgN Singular Nominative
• +CmpN/SgG Singular Genitive
• +CmpN/PlG Plural Genitive

Unmarked = Default, ie +CmpN/SgN for SMN.

The second part of the compound may require that the previous (left part) is:

• +CmpN/SgNomLeft Singular Nominative
• +CmpN/SgGenLeft Singular Genitive
• +CmpN/PlGenLeft Plural Genitive

Language tagged names

• +OLang/ENG
• +OLang/FIN
• +OLang/NNO
• +OLang/NOB
• +OLang/SME
• +OLang/SMJ
• +OLang/SMA
• +OLang/SWE
• +OLang/UND
• +OLang/RUS
• +OLang/PARA - parallelle navn, navnet skal ikke overføres til andre samisk språk

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. The P sets positive value, the C clears it.

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
@R.NeedNoun.ON@	(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised
@D.ErrOrth.ON@	Disallow ErrOrth
@C.ErrOrth@	Clear ErrOrth flag
@P.ErrOrth.ON@	Set positive value for ErrOrth flag
@R.ErrOrth.ON@	Reset ErrOrth Flag

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.CmpNone.TRUE@	Combines with the next tag to prohibit compounding
@U.CmpNone.FALSE@	Combines with the prev tag to prohibit compounding
@U.CmpNone.TRUE@	Combines with the two previous ones to block compounding
@P.CmpOnly.TRUE@	Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R
@D.CmpOnly.FALSE@	Disallow words coming directly from root.
@D.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@U.CmpHyph.FALSE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@U.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@C.CmpHyph@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@P.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@N.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns

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.
@U.NeedsVowRed.OFF@	is used to force hyphenation/non-reduction: samediggi-
@U.NeedsVowRed.ON@	is used to force reduction w/o hyphen: samedigge#xxx
@C.NeedsVowRed@	Clearing this feature, so that it doesn’t interfere with further compounding
@C.Px@	Clear px
@C.Nom3Px@
@P.Px.add@
@R.Px.add@
@P.Px.block@
@D.Px.block@
@P.Nom12Px.add@
@R.Nom12Px.add@
@P.Nom3Px.add@
@R.Nom3Px.add@
@P.Vgen.add@
@R.Vgen.add@
@R.SpellRlx.ON@	Flag used to tag spell-relax-analysed strings (and only those).
@D.SpellRlx.ON@	Flag used to tag spell-relax-analysed strings (and only those).
@C.SpellRlx@	Flag used to tag spell-relax-analysed strings (and only those).
@R.SpaceCmp.ON@	Flag to tag compounds written with a space
@D.SpaceCmp.ON@	Flag to tag compounds written with a space
@C.SpaceCmp@	Flag to tag compounds written with a space

Use the following flag diacritics to control harmony in numeral case inflection

Flag	Explanation
@U.Case.SgNom@	Unifies with case Nominative
@U.Case.PlNom@	Unifies with case Nominative
@U.Case.SgGen@	Unifies with case Genitive
@U.Case.PlGen@	Unifies with case Genitive
@U.Case.PlAcc@	Unifies with case Accusative
@U.Case.SgLoc@	Unifies with case Locative
@U.Case.PlLoc@	Unifies with case Locative
@U.Case.SgIll@	Unifies with case Illative
@U.Case.PlIll@	Unifies with case Illative
@U.Case.SgCom@	Unifies with case Comitative
@U.Case.Ess@	Unifies with case Essive
@U.Number.Sg@	Unifies with number Singular - perhaps not in use
@U.Number.Pl@	Unifies with number Plural - perhaps not in use
