Hello Tutors,
It's been quite some time since I last posted something here, and now I'm
back with a question:
I want to re-structure English so that the adjectives appear after the
nouns, instead of before.
If I have a sentence like:
The tall man plays well
I need to change it to
The man tall plays well
So far, I have thought of the following function, but I'm not sure it's the
best solution. It assumes that the sentence has been augmented with part of
speech tags
(Also plz note that there may be multiple adjectives)
######################
test = "the/DET tall/ADJ man/N plays/VBZ well/ADV"
def swapAdjNoun(sentence):
sentence = sentence.split()
new = []
x = enumerate(sentence)
for idx, lex in x:
if lex.endswith("/N") and sentence[idx-1].endswith("/ADJ"):
idx = idx - 1
elif lex.endswith("/ADJ") and sentence[idx+1].endswith("/N"):
idx = idx + 1
new.append((idx, lex))
new.sort()
new = [ elm[1] for elm in new]
return new
####################
I'd appreciate if if you gave me some advice on how to do this the right
way.
