Hi,
I need to match a Spanish contraction ("del" or "al") in Constraint
Grammar, but I am unable to do it.
The contraction is:
^del/de<pr>+el<det><def><m><sg>$
The only think that seems to be visible in the Constraint Grammar syntax is
the second element of the contraction:
el<det><def><m><sg>
It matches ("el") or (det def m sg), but not ("de"), ("del") or (pr).
Does anybody know how to match the first element of the contraction (the
preposition)?
This could be solved differently. I think these contractions should be
tokenized earlier in the pipeline as two tokens. This way we would avoid a
lot of exceptions and workarounds when dealing with them. Is it feasible?
These contractions are extremely frequent and now they cause a lot of
undesired results.
