Hi,
I am developing a method to learn Apertium shallow-transfer rules from the
translations of small chunks provided by non-expert users. In order to
generalise the learned rules, I check the bilingual dictionary which, as
far as I know, encodes only the lemma and the tags changed when translating
from source language to target language. However, I have found the
following entries in the Spanish-Catalan bilingual dictionary:
<e> <i>el<s n="det"/><s n="def"/><s n="f"/><s n="pl"/></i></e>
<e> <i>el<s n="det"/><s n="def"/><s n="f"/><s n="sg"/></i></e>
<e> <i>el<s n="det"/><s n="def"/><s n="m"/><s n="pl"/></i></e>
<e> <i>el<s n="det"/><s n="def"/><s n="m"/><s n="sg"/></i></e>
I think that, as the gender and the number don't change, they could be
written using only one entry:
<e> <i>el<s n="det"/><s n="def"/></i></e>
It would be very useful for the approach I am developing to remove this
redundancy from the bilingual dictionary. But, before making a commit, I
want to be sure that I'm not breaking anything. Do you think the proposed
change is correct?
Regards,
Víctor M. Sánchez-Cartagena
