Development setup

Compiling the grammarchecker:

cd $GTLANGS/lang-smn
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-hfst --enable-syntax --enable-grammarchecker --enable-tokenisers --enable-alignment --enable-reversed-intersect
make
cd tools/grammarcheckers
make dev

Then edit/test as follows:

echo "Sun ij puátá." | sh modes/smngram.mode
echo "Sun ij puátá." | sh modes/smngram-release.mode

There are very many modes in the modes folder, look at them. If you use emacs and have cg-mode installed, you may run analysis with C-c C-i / C-c C-c See also the documentation on grammarchecker testing

Delimiters, tags and sets

Sentence delimiters are the following: <.> <!> <?> <…> <¶>

Tags and sets

This section lists all the tags inherited from the fst, and used as tags in the syntactic analysis. The next section, Sets, contains sets defined on the basis of the tags listed here, those set names are not visible in the output.

Syntactic tags

The following work after the mapping rules for verbs:

SETS

Sets containing sets of lists and tags

This part of the file lists a large number of sets based partly upon the tags defined above, and partly upon lexemes drawn from the lexicon. See the sourcefile itself to inspect the sets, what follows here is an overview of the set types.

Sets for Single-word entities

The set go for ko, , and the set INITIAL for initial letters

Sets for word or not

Derivational affixes

Case sets

Verb sets

Sets for person

SG1-V SG2-V SG3-V DU1-V DU2-V DU3-V PL1-V PL2-V PL3-V

Finite verb sets

SG-V, DU-V, PL-V, DU-PL-V 1-2-V VNOTSG1 (for all other persons than Sg1), VNOTSG2, …

No one so far

z### Copula sets

(these ones need to be rewritten)

LEDE, LEAN, LEAT, …

QUASI-TV

Mun vuolgim raapâid pajas. Verb accepts accusative in front of adverb.

Pronoun sets

MUN, DON, SON, MOAI, …

Adjective sets

LEX-A, A-CASE, …

This set was removed, for a good reason?

Adverbial sets

LEX-ADV, LEX-ADV-DE, …

Coordinator sets

Foc, NEGFOC, …

Adverbs that have lookalikes

Here come some adverbs that have identical twins in other POS. If these are found in Adv contexts, we treat them as adverbs.

LACCAT-ADV

MOD-NP-ADV

MOD-ADV-ADV

EASKKA

Sets of elements with common syntactic behaviour

Verb sets

V is all readings with a V tag in them, REAL-V should be the ones without an N tag following the V. The REAL-V set thus awaits a fix to the preprocess V … N bug.

TRANS-V is the set for verbs really taking objects

STRICT-TRANS-V is the set for verbs which don’t let a GenAcc be a modifier of anything else than an object, e.g. Mun organiseren eatni gievkkanis. - eatni wants to be the object

Valency sets

Adverb sets

Adjective sets

Lexical valency sets for adjectives. here we have adjectives according to their semantic properties

Other adjective sets

A-N, A-N-CASE, …

NP sets defined according to their morphosyntactic features

The PRE-NP-HEAD family of sets

These sets model noun phrases (NPs). The idea is to first define whatever can occur in front of the head of the NP, and thereafter negate that with the expression WORD - premodifiers.

The set NOT-NPMOD is used to find barriers between NPs. Typical usage: … (*1 N BARRIER NOT-NPMOD) … meaning: Scan to the first noun, ignoring anything that can be part of the noun phrase of that noun (i.e., “scan to the next NP head”)

Other negatively defined morphosyntactic noun sets

Noun sets

Nominal sets defined morphophonologically Sets for lexeme homonymy (most of them are moved to where the actual rules are.)

The words in the set N-PO can be both N and Po, the set takes that into account.

Nouns that have dangerous homonyms

Nominal sets defined semantically

OKTA

GEN-ANIMAL, PREDATOR. BIRD, …

Miscellaneous sets

Border sets and their complements

Syntactic sets

These were the set types.

Agreement rule: msyn-adj-pred-attr Plural adjectives should be Attr in front of N.
