LkbWishlist

This page is for listing wishlist items in the lkb. Just because they are here doesn't, of course, mean that anyone will impliment them for you.

• Comments in TDL: it would aid grammar debugging if it were possible to comment out sections with a TDL defintion.

• Head-Daughter shown in Trees: It would be nice if the graphical display marke which daughter was the head daughter in headed constructions, either by a thicker branch to it or maybe an arrow. An alternative would be to label the arcs (H for head, S for subject, etc) but that would probably be overdoing things).

• Some treatment of Capitali(z|s)ation

• Normalization of Numbers e.g. PLUS (CARG 20 CARG 3) => CARG 23

• Robust Generation of Numbers CARG 23 => PLUS (CARG 20 CARG 3)

• Redundancy Rule Check define a conventional syntax in the comments to suggest that a type is the combination of another type and a rule (or rules) and create a batch check to see if they are really the same.

  • e.g.

generic_adj_te_infl-lex := generic-i-adj-lex &
"combine: i-adj-stem-lex + adj-te-t-lexeme-c-stem-infl-rule; I am the generic type for te inflected adjectives, e.g. 美しく"
[RMORPH-BIND-TYPE t-morph,
 SYNSEM.LOCAL.CAT.HEAD i-adj_head & [MARK < [LOCAL.CAT.HEAD.H-TENSE te] > ],
 J-NEEDS-AFFIX +].
