L-G Usage Question
KokomoJ0
I am pecking away at understanding the program and keep getting hung
up on my lack of knowledge of grammar, so its sort of an uphill battle
in that respect. I should have paid better attention in class! ha!
Anyway I am getting word ID's that are not listed anywhere in any of
the material on the site, unless it was just updated.
I found some, like .n and .v and .g for gerund but the majority of
them I cannot find and I am not good enough in grammar yet to know for
sure how to derive the correct answer:
A few that i have been getting are:
not.e
no.misc-d
establishment.s
free.a
.r
.s
.p
.j conjunction?
The only parts I was able to find were .v .n and .g so those I know
for sure, but what about these others?
Is there a way I can determine what they mean in the instructions
somewhere? I did do a search for the ones I lised but nothing comes
up? Hoping you can help?

Heh. No knowledge of grammar required. However, reading the first
two papers about link-grammar should make most things clear.

They're called word subscripts. They don't really have a well-defined
meaning, and are not meant to; they're just handy for organizing the
dictionary. You've noticed that most nouns are tagged with .n
and verbs with .v but most of the rest are used rather loosely. Don't
read too much into these.
