%mor and %gra tiers

[Simge Topaloglu]

Hello, 

My question is about a search that requires combining the %mor and %gra tiers. (This probably has an easy solution, but I couldn't figure it out.) I am interested in finding sentences with embedding verbs, so I want to search for a set of specific verbs, either immediately followed by a subject, or followed by a subject after the interposition of the complementizer that. Conceptually, this design would give me the output that I want. But what is the code that would generate this output? I tried some things, but they didn't work, I suspect maybe there is a two-step solution for this?

I would really appreciate your help!

Thank you,

Simge

Hi,

As I understand what you want I would suggest following two commands:

For any verb immediately followed by a subject:

combo +d7 +sm|v^g|SUBJ *.cha

For any verb followed by a subject after the interposition of the complementizer that:

combo +d7 +sm|v^*^m|comp,;that^*^g|SUBJ *.cha

Leonid.

Hi Leonid,

This is really helpful, thank you. Is there a way to specify the particular verbs that I want to focus on, though?

To specify specific stem use ‘;’ stem symbol. For example, to look for lemma of word “walk” specify command:

combo +d7 +sm|v,;walk^g|SUBJ

To get more information on specific searches on %mor tier type “freq +sm” in commands window. You can also read more about it in CLAN manual around chapter "7.8.7 FREQ for the %mor line”.

Hi Leonid,

Thank you so much for your help! This code works, but I have noticed that in the particular corpus I am using, the instances of that that function as complementizers have actually been coded as relativizers (pro:rel|that), so I had to change that portion of the code. I am just saying this here, in case it helps someone else who uses a similar command and is puzzled to not find any complementizers in the corpus.

Many thanks again!

Best,

Simge

Dear Simge,

    The word “that” in English has many readings and it is tricky for POST to get it always right.  However, in more recent versions of MOR/POST we added some rules that improved this tagging.
