OPTSP/NBAR root ambiguity with proper names
olzama opened this issue · comments
In Spanish, proper names can occur with articles, so a typical way to realize a construction with a proper name is with the optional specifier rule:
At the same time, a root like this seems to be needed, for various titles and such (e.g. many examples in TIBIDABO portion with sentences of length 2, "bebe prematuro" and so on):
root_nbar := phrase-or-lexrule &
[ SYNSEM [ LOCAL [ COORD-REL.PRED non_implicit_coord_rel,
AGR.DIVISIBLE -,
CAT [ HEAD noun & [ KEYS.KEY nom_rel ],
VAL [ SUBJ < >,
COMPS < >,
CLTS < > ] ] ],
NON-LOCAL [ REL 0-dlist,
SLASH 0-dlist ] ] ].
This results in some ambiguity for proper names:
I couldn't immediately figure out how to rule this out without breaking things, so, just documenting that this ambiguity is there.
