[developers] [incr tsdb()] Process | Vocabulary output

[Emily M. Bender]

Following up on the thread below:

Either I haven't understood your answer properly, or something else
is going on.  For my current Chintang grammar, I get results like
this:

ba-ce-ko | 1 references | [1 + 2] lexical entrie(s);

In lexicon.tdl, I have an entry with [ ORTH "ba" ], but none with
[ORTH "ba-ce-ko" ].   Could this instead mean something like
"there is one analysis available of this word, and it involves
the application of two lexical rules"?  (That would be consistent
with what I see in the parse chart, parsing just this item.)

In some other cases, it looks like a result of [ 1 + 0 ] lexical entrie(s)
means that the orthographic rules allowed the LKB to strip
affixes and find a stem, but then the tfs associated with those
lexical rules didn't unify.

Regarding dag-inflected-p, I haven't said anything yet in user-fns.lsp,
so that's whatever the default is in the LKB.  (And I'm not sure I
would know how to write something more appropriate, as we're
now using a complex fs as the value of INFLECTED.  Can
dag-inflected-p check whether the value of that feature unifies
with some other type, or can it only check types as strings?)

Thanks,
Emily

So [basic + derived].  Thus, in the ERG, "dog" is reported as "[0 + 2]" since there is no fully inflected lexical entry defined with that spelling, but there are two derived forms with that spelling, applying an inflectional rule to each of the noun and verb entries defined in the lexicon.
