compound lexical suffixes
Posted by skell on 26 Mar 2010 in Activity log
For future reference, here's how we decided to handle MDK's entries for compound lexical suffixes (e.g. apqən, qnwil, etc.):
-keep compound lexical suffixes as their own entries in the database
-tag them with corresp in hyph - e.g.
<hyph>=<m corresp="ap-1 qin">ápqən</m> </hyph>
-add lexical-suffix-compound to their feature structures:
<fs>
<f name="baseType">
<symbol value="suffix"/>
</f>
<f name="derivational">
<symbol value="lexical-suffix-compound" />
</f>
</fs>
I added <symbol value="lexical-suffix-compound" /> to feature_system.xml after discussion with Martin and Ewa.
