Katie Sickles LING 567 Lab7 General Changes: I made the change to have my test suite now be the morpheme line rather than the standard orthography line. The inflection in the irules now reflect this as well (eg -um). I've decided that this better represents the stems and suffixes of the language. Fixes: The adverbs now work correctly. There was just a syntax error in the lexical entry that prevented the grammar from being loaded. Sentences such as: Kona borda-ar helst mat-inn woman.FEM.NOM eat.3sg gladly food.MASC.ACC-the.MASC.ACC 'a woman gladly eats the food' The ditransives and transitives with optional object now load in the grammar, but still no parses for them yet. Matrix yes/no questions: In Icelandic the questions are former by inverting the subject and verb: Elska-ar kott-ur-inn hund-inn? love.3sg cat.MASC-NOM.MASC-the.NOM.MASC dog.ACC.MASC-the.ACC.MASC 'does the cat love the dog?' The customization script already provided the types and rules to account for this. This sentence parsed, but I found through generation that the grammar would erronously allow the base form of the verb: *Elska kott-ur-inn hund-inn This is was happening since the subject-inversion rule was applying to any verb. I fixed this by requiring that it's daughter had to be of type num+pers+lex+rule (the top verb lex rule). This constrained it to only applying to verbs that had already been conjugated (gone through one of the verb lex rules). Embedded clauses: This embedded clauses appear with complementizers and following a few set of verbs such as 'ask', 'say', or 'wish': eg heyra ad kott-ur-inn elska-ar hund-inn I hear.1sg CL cat-NOM.sg-the.NOM.sg love.3sg dog.ACC.SG-the.ACC.sg 'I hear that the cat loves the dog' The structure of these embedded clauses is the complementizer taking a sentence as its complement. To implement this I created the clause-emb-verb-lex type and had the verb "heyra" be of that type rather than a transitive verb. This new type required it's comp be [ HEAD comp ], so that it must take an complement with a complementizer as it's head. I had to create a new lex item for the complementizer. This type has a ARG-ST of one item that is made of its comp. The comp list constrains its element to be [ HEAD verb ]. This originally overgenerated, so I also constrained the comp to be [ MC - ]. This fixed the overgeneration and still parsed the grammatical phrases. Imperatives: There are three imperative forms for the verbs. One for 2sg and 2pl as well as one for 1pl: Hoppa jump.2sg.imp Hoppa-id jump.2pl.imp Hoppa-um jump.1pl.imp Due to this phenomena, I didn't constrain the imp-head-opt-phrase to be 2nd person. The person distinction was taken care of in the imperative lexical rules. This phenomena still doesn't parse. When I look at the parse chart, it shows that imperative lexical rule applied, but it doesn't form the phrase. Test Suite: The overall coverage was greatly improved with this lab. It went from around 35% to 55%.
