<div dir="ltr">Hi Tuan Anh,<div><br></div><div>The thinking of subtypes of predicates has changed over the years, and as a result there's numerous overlapping terms for various things. I believe that the current consensus (documented on <a href="http://moin.delph-in.net/PredicateRfc">http://moin.delph-in.net/PredicateRfc</a>) is that there are two main axes of subcategorization for predicate symbols: abstract vs surface and string vs type (with "real" predicates being a decomposed form of surface preds). But I suspect what you mean by STRINGPRED is not the same thing as described on the wiki?<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm afraid PyDelphin is a bit behind the times WRT these definitions of predicates, and instead follows mostly what was described in the MRS DTD (as I understood it at the time). Therefore currently PyDelphin calls predicates beginning with an underscore a "stringpred", regardless of whether the symbol was quoted or not. I.e., it should be called "surfacepred" or something. Abstract predicates are called "grammarpred" in PyDelphin. I have created a ticket for this bug: <a href="https://github.com/delph-in/pydelphin/issues/117">https://github.com/delph-in/pydelphin/issues/117</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Now back to your question, "named_rel" is called a GRAMMARPRED in PyDelphin because the predicate does not start with an underscore.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 8:25 AM, Tuấn Anh Lê <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tuananh.ke@gmail.com" target="_blank">tuananh.ke@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi delphinians,<br><br></div>I'm working on predicate mapping and found that named_rel are not STRINGPRED when processed by pyDelphin.Are these expected behaviours?
