Alternative: Instead of fiddling with "qualsevol"'s part of speech, there is another solution. If the problem is only with
"qualsevol altre" "qualsevol altra" "qualssevol altres" Just add them as multiwords and name them "det" as we do with "el meu", "la meva", etc. How does that sound? By the way, whatever it is done, it should be the same with Spanish "cualquier otro", "cualesquier otros", etc. Mikel "qOn 01/26/2011 10:46 PM, Jimmy O'Regan wrote: > On 26 January 2011 21:23, Francis Tyers<[email protected]> wrote: >> El dc 26 de 01 de 2011 a les 21:19 +0000, en/na Jimmy O'Regan va >> escriure: >>> On 26 January 2011 11:59, Francis Tyers<[email protected]> wrote: >>>> Hey all, >>>> >>>> Translating some text from Catalan to Spanish I get a tagging error: >>>> >>>> -- >>>> >>>> o qualsevol altre traductor automàtic >>>> >>>> $ echo "o qualsevol altre traductor automàtic" | apertium -d . >>>> ca-es-anmor >>>> ^o/o<cnjcoo>$ >>>> ^qualsevol/qualsevol<adj><mf><sg>/qualsevol<prn><tn><mf><sg>/qualsevol<det><ind><mf><sg>$ >>>> ^altre/altre<adj><ind><m><sg>/altre<det><ind><m><sg>$ >>>> ^traductor/traductor<n><m><sg>$ >>>> ^automàtic/automàtic<adj><m><sg>$^./.<sent>$ >>>> >>>> $ echo "o qualsevol altre traductor automàtic" | apertium -d . >>>> ca-es-tagger >>>> ^o<cnjcoo>$ ^qualsevol<prn><tn><mf><sg>$ ^altre<det><ind><m><sg>$ >>>> ^traductor<n><m><sg>$ ^automàtic<adj><m><sg>$^.<sent>$ >>>> >>>> o cualquiera otro traductor automático >>>> >>>> -- >>>> >>>> I think here it should choose 'qualsevol' (determiner) as opposed to the >>>> pronoun.
