Hi
i am trying to parse a sentence that has the fragment
a person (1234543265)
I think the ERG treats the parenthetical item as an adjective, which is fine. but the number itself is not recognised, and the parse fails. (it works if i manually add the number to the lexicon!).
my question is: how do i get numbers (and dates by the way) to be recognised as a particular lexical type as if in the lexicon? i am guessing that this is a preparsing issue, and would welcome some pointers to where this might be described.
thank you
